Torsion & Extension Springs

Professional-grade garage door springs for DIY replacement. Standard and high-cycle options with the same quality we install on service calls.

Understanding Garage Door Springs

Your garage door springs do all the heavy lifting – literally. They counterbalance the weight of your door (150-250 lbs for most residential doors) so your opener only needs to guide it up and down.

Torsion Springs

Mounted horizontally above your garage door opening. These are the most common type in modern residential installations.

  • Smoother, more controlled operation
  • Longer lifespan than extension springs
  • Available in 10K, 15K, and 25K cycle ratings
  • Requires winding bars for installation

Extension Springs

Mounted along the horizontal tracks on both sides of the door. Common in older installations and lighter doors.

  • Easier DIY installation (no winding required)
  • Must include safety cables
  • Best for lighter single-car doors
  • Replace in pairs for balanced operation

Signs You Need New Springs

Visible Gap in Spring

A broken torsion spring will have a visible gap in the coils.

Door Won't Stay Open

Door falls when released or won't stay in the halfway position.

Loud Bang Sound

A breaking spring sounds like a gunshot or firework in the garage.

Crooked Door

Door opens unevenly – one side higher than the other.

Safety Warning

Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. If you're not experienced with spring replacement, we strongly recommend professional installation.
