Typical Garage Door Spring Problems We Repair

Broken Torsion Springs

 These are the muscles behind your door. They hold tension and help lift everything smoothly — until, eventually, they don’t. When they break, you’ll either hear a loud snap or notice your door just won’t budge. In worse cases, the door might slam down out of nowhere. We take out the busted spring, drop in a premium replacement, and test everything till it’s moving like it should.

Worn Extension Springs

These springs stretch and contract every single time your door moves. That daily action adds up. Over time, they start to wear thin, and before you know it, the door’s tilting or acting up. If your door’s looking off-balance or jerky when it opens, those extension springs may be the issue. We replace them fast before they cause more damage down the line.

Rust and
Corrosion

 Let’s be real — Northfield winters aren’t easy on anything metal. Snow, cold, moisture — it all adds up. Springs can start rusting from the inside out, which weakens them without you even noticing. We check for signs of corrosion, even if they’re small, and swap out any springs that look close to failing. Better safe than stuck.

Off-Balance Tension

​ Too much tension and the door fights you every time it moves. Too little, and it won’t stay up. Either way, it’s not right. If your door slams shut or won’t hold position, it could just be a tension issue. We adjust the balance on the spot and get everything aligned again — no guesswork, no trial-and-error.

How Our Spring Repair Service Works

  • Inspection
    Before we fix anything, we give your spring system a full look. That means torsion or extension springs, brackets, pulleys, bearings, cables — everything under pressure. We’re not just focused on what broke; we’re thinking two steps ahead to what might be next.

  • Clear Diagnosis
    We keep it simple. No confusing terms, no hidden stuff. Just a straight explanation of what’s going on and what it’ll take to fix it. You’ll know what’s happening, what’s getting done, and why it matters — plain and simple.

  • Hands-On Repair
    Our techs roll in with the tools and the good stuff — oil-tempered, heavy-duty springs that are made to last. We don’t cut corners. We don’t “just make it work.” We swap, secure, adjust, and make sure it’s running right before we call it done.

  • Safety Check
    Once everything’s installed, we test the system start to finish. Up. Down. Again. We watch the alignment, check for any drift, and make sure the door closes smooth and safe. If something doesn’t feel right, we tweak it till it does.

  • Quick Maintenance Advice
    We’re not just here to fix and vanish. Before we roll out, we’ll give you a few real-world tips — stuff that helps your springs last longer and avoids the same problem showing up again. Nothing complicated, just good habits you can actually use.
