Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement

Springs in your garage doors control and guide the tracking and power. They lift and lower your door multiple times a day — even more so if you use your garage as the main entryway into your home. An average spring has a lifespan of 10,000 cycles, which usually lasts about seven years. More than anything, your garage door springs should be checked regularly for wear-and-tear over time.

Signs You Need Spring Repair

As with any piece of machinery that may need to be repaired or replaced, there are some visible signs you can look for regularly. These warning signs of a torsion spring that needs replacing include:

  • Rust or visible damage — If the coils of the spring are rusting, corroding or have exposed gaps in the middle, there’s an excellent chance the metal could erode quickly and even snap — which could potentially cause physical harm.
  • Loud, irregular noises — Doors that screech or clank while they’re moving can be reflective of an issue with the spring that controls their fluidity.
  • Inability to open or close garage door — A garage door that stays stuck on the ground or is stuck fully retracted could be a sign of malfunctioning springs.
  • A leaning or unbalanced door — Sometimes one spring will weaken or wear down before the other, causing your garage door to tilt. Your spring needs to be realigned to ensure full functionality.
  • The door slamming into the ground — Without the spring to gently guide your garage door, gravity will overtake the massive doors, causing them to slam instead of resting when going to close.

The moment you begin to notice any of these signs occurring with your home or work garage, it’s time to call a professional. At Kitsap Garage Door, we’ll use our supply of Clopay® garage door springs to perfectly match and replace the springs initially installed with your garage door.
