Expert Torsion & Extension Spring Replacement
A broken spring is the most common reason a garage door won’t open. Because these springs are under extreme tension, they are dangerous to handle without the right tools. Whether you have high-mounted torsion springs or side-mounted extension springs, I personally handle every replacement to ensure your door is perfectly balanced and safe for your family.
The spring is the muscle of your garage door. When it snaps, your door becomes ‘dead weight’ (often 200+ lbs) and cannot be lifted by the opener.
We Carry Both Types:
Torsion Springs: Located above the door header (most common). We cut ours to the exact weight of your door for a perfectly balanced lift.
Extension Springs: Located along the side tracks. We always install safety cables with these to prevent them from flying if they snap.

Professional Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Springs
To prevent a sudden break, I recommend a simple “balance test” once or twice a year. Pull the red emergency release cord and try to lift the door halfway by hand. If it doesn’t stay in place, your springs are losing tension. While a homeowner can apply a specialized garage door lubricant to the coils to reduce friction and noise, you should never attempt to tighten the springs yourself. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your hardware, but when it’s time for a garage door spring repair in Waterbury CT, calling a professional is the only way to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.
