Garage Door Spring Replacement in Grand Rapids, MI
A loud bang from the garage, followed by a door that won't lift, almost always means a broken spring. Springs do the heavy lifting, and in Grand Rapids' cold they break more often than people expect.
Request a technicianTorsion springs
Most modern doors use torsion springs on a bar above the opening. When one breaks, you'll often see a gap in the coil.
Extension springs
Older doors may have springs along the side tracks. They should have safety cables running through them.
Why they break
Springs are rated for a set number of cycles. Cold steel, rust and heavy use speed up wear.
Replace in pairs
If a door has two springs, replacing both keeps the door balanced and saves a second visit.
Right size
Springs must match the door's weight and height. The wrong spring makes the door hard to lift or slam down.
High-cycle springs
Longer-life springs cost more but last longer, which helps busy households.
Balance test
After replacement, the door should stay put when lifted halfway by hand.
Never DIY
Spring tension can cause serious injury. This is a job for a trained technician.
