Warning Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need To Be Replaced
Garage door springs are under enormous tension and naturally wear out over time, especially in Colorado’s climate. Recognizing the following warning signs early can prevent more extensive damage and safety hazards:
- Your door moves slowly, unevenly, or gets stuck when opening or closing.
- You hear loud spring noises, such as squeaking, grinding, or sudden bangs, during operation.
- Your springs show visible gaps, unwinding, or separation.
- Manual garage door lifting feels unusually heavy.
- Your door closes with a rapid, slamming motion due to the loss of balanced spring tension.
- Your door moves unevenly or appears crooked, suggesting the spring has failed on one side.
- Your springs are over seven years old and have reached the end of their natural life.
When you notice these symptoms, contact a professional immediately. A broken torsion spring can be dangerous to try to fix yourself.
Importance of Professional Spring Replacement Over DIY Fixes
Garage door springs contain a tremendous amount of stored energy. Understanding why professional services are essential helps protect your family and property.
Prioritizing Safety Above All
Garage door springs are under extreme tension, equivalent to hundreds of pounds of force. DIY spring replacement leads to thousands of injuries yearly.
Our certified technicians have specialized tools and training to handle these components. We follow strict safety protocols during every spring replacement to protect your family from potentially serious accidents.
Ensuring Proper Door Balance
Smooth garage door operation depends on perfectly balanced spring tension. Our technicians perform spring calibration to match your door’s weight and dimensions. This careful adjustment prevents premature wear on your opener and tracks while ensuring reliable operation in Denver’s varied climate conditions.
Extending System Longevity
When one spring fails, the entire door system undergoes increased stress. Our comprehensive service includes inspecting cables, rollers, and hinges that may be affected by the failing spring. This thorough approach prevents cascading problems that often occur after improper spring replacement, saving you money in the long run.
Preserving Warranty Protection
Many garage door warranties become void if repairs are performed incorrectly. Our professional spring replacement maintains your manufacturer’s warranties while providing our service guarantee. We use only high-quality springs appropriate for your specific door weight and usage patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about garage door spring replacement:
What Is the Typical Lifespan of Garage Door Springs?
Most springs last seven to ten years under regular use. Factors affecting longevity include frequency of door operation, climate conditions, and spring quality. In Denver’s variable climate, spring life can sometimes be shorter due to temperature fluctuations.
Can I Replace a Single Spring If Only One Is Broken?
While this is possible, we strongly recommend spring replacement for both simultaneously. Springs installed at the same time wear at similar rates, and a newly broken spring indicates the second is likely near failure as well.
How Are Torsion Springs and Extension Springs Different?
Torsion springs mount horizontally above your garage door and use torque for lifting, while extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks and stretch to provide lifting force. Torsion springs are typically safer, quieter, and longer-lasting, but both types require professional handling due to high tension.
