Experience Seamless Spring Replacements with Expert Precision.
At Express Garage Doors LLC, we understand the pivotal role garage door springs play in the safe and smooth operation of your door. Springs bear the full weight of the door through thousands of open-and-close cycles — and when they fail, they fail suddenly. A broken spring can leave your door completely inoperable and create a serious safety hazard.
That’s why our technicians are specially trained to handle spring replacements with the precision, safety protocols, and quality parts the job demands. We don’t patch worn springs — we replace them properly, so you’re not calling us back in a month.
Safety Warning: Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Never attempt to replace springs yourself. Always call a trained professional.
Types of Springs We Replace
- Torsion springs — Mounted above the door opening; the most common type in modern residential doors. Highly efficient and durable.
- Extension springs — Run along the horizontal tracks on each side. Common in older doors and lighter single-car doors.
- EQ (earthquake) torsion springs — Designed for seismic zones and high-stress applications.
- TorqueMaster enclosed springs — Wayne Dalton proprietary spring system inside a hollow steel tube.
Signs You Need Spring Replacement
- The door won’t open at all — even with the opener running
- The door feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
- You heard a loud bang from the garage (the spring snapping)
- The door opens a few inches then stops
- Visible gap in the torsion spring coil
- Uneven door movement — one side rises faster than the other
Our Replacement Process
When you call us for a spring replacement, here’s what to expect:
- Our technician safely releases the tension on the old spring using professional winding bars
- We remove the failed spring and measure your door’s exact weight and specifications
- We install a new, properly rated spring with the correct number of turns for your door
- We test the door’s balance, travel, and auto-reverse to confirm everything is working perfectly
- We lubricate all moving parts as part of every spring replacement
Most spring replacements are completed within 1–2 hours. We carry a full range of spring sizes in our service vehicles for same-day turnaround.
