A broken spring can leave a garage door difficult to move or unable to open. Contact Expert Garage Door Repair for garage door spring repair and replacement in Toronto and our listed service areas.
Describe the symptoms
Let us know if you heard a loud noise, noticed a visible gap in a spring or found that the opener cannot lift the door. These symptoms help describe the problem but do not replace an inspection.
Replacement suited to the door
The appropriate spring depends on the door and its operating system. We assess the spring repair or replacement required for the existing door. Share a photo of the door and spring assembly if you have one that can be taken safely.
Avoid adjusting springs yourself
Garage door springs are under tension. Do not loosen brackets, adjust spring tension or force a door with a suspected broken spring. Keep people clear and call to discuss service.
Frequently asked questions
Does a heavy door always mean the spring is broken?
No. A heavy or difficult-to-move door can have several causes. A damaged spring is one possibility, but inspection is needed before deciding on the work.
Can I keep using the opener with a suspected broken spring?
Avoid repeatedly running the opener or forcing the door when a spring may be broken. Keep the opening clear and arrange service.
Can you select a spring from a photo?
A photo can help describe the existing setup, but spring selection also depends on the door and its requirements. Compatibility and measurements need to be confirmed.
Do you offer spring replacement outside Toronto?
Yes, in the locations listed on our Service Areas page. Call with your city and door issue during our daily 8 AM–midnight hours.
