Garage doors rarely fail at a convenient time. If you need broken garage door spring repair in Loomis, CA, we can often come out the same day when a technician is available. Fast replacement of broken torsion or extension springs, sized to your door's weight.
Safety first: springs and cables hold hundreds of pounds of tension. Don't try to adjust or remove them yourself, and don't run the opener on a door that's crooked or has a broken spring.
Signs you need broken garage door spring repair
- A loud bang from the garage, like a gunshot
- A visible gap in the coils of the spring above the door
- The door feels extremely heavy or won't lift more than a few inches
- The opener strains, hums or the door reverses right away
- Cables hanging loose from the drums
What usually causes it
- Springs reaching the end of their cycle life (usually about 10,000 cycles)
- Rust on the coils, which adds friction and stress
- Springs that were the wrong size for the door
- Cold weather making worn steel more brittle
Before the technician arrives
- Don't use the opener. It can strip gears or pull the door off track.
- Don't try to lift the door by hand. Without a working spring it may weigh 130 to 250 pounds or more.
- Look, but don't touch: a broken torsion spring shows a clear gap in the coils.
- Keep the door closed and keep children and pets away from it.

Should I repair or replace my garage door?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about 50% of a replacement, or the garage door is near the end of its life, replace it. A garage door typically lasts 15 to 30 years. If several panels are damaged, the door is rusted through or rotted, or parts are discontinued, replacing it is often better value. Springs are the exception: a broken spring is always replaced, never repaired. Our free repair vs. replace calculator can help you compare.
