Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?
Your garage door relies on heavy-duty springs to lift and lower the door safely. There are two main types:
- Torsion springs (mounted above the door on a steel shaft)
- Extension springs (mounted along the sides of the tracks)
Because springs handle most of the lifting, they naturally wear down over time. Common causes of spring failure include:
- Temperature extremes (hot summers / cold winters)
- Rust and corrosion (often from moisture or lack of lubrication)
- An unbalanced or misaligned door
- Worn or broken hardware that puts extra strain on the springs
- Incorrect spring size or improper installation
Important: Never attempt to replace a garage door spring yourself. Garage doors are heavy, and springs are under extreme tension. For safety, spring repairs should be handled by a trained professional.
Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?
Your garage door relies on heavy-duty springs to operate. There are two different types: extension springs mounted on either side of the track, or torsion springs mounted above the door in a steel shaft. Most garage door manufacturers use torsion springs, but no matter which type you have, they handle the majority of the heavy lifting. Precision techs are trained to replace both types.
Since garage door springs do most of the work when it comes to opening and closing, it’s common for them to get worn out over time. Aside from regular use, there are a few reasons you might need a garage door spring repair, including:
- Extremely hot or cold temperatures
- Rust buildup, which is often caused by excess moisture or improper lubrication
- An imbalance in the door
- A different component breaking, which makes the springs work harder than they should
- Improper installation
Never attempt to fix a broken spring yourself. Garage doors are your home’s largest, heaviest moving object. This means that not only are they tough to lift, but they may also come falling down with a lot of force if installed incorrectly. For your safety, this type of repair should be undertaken only by a qualified Precision Garage Door technician.
Professional Spring Repair & Replacement
Our technicians are trained to replace both torsion and extension springs, and we take steps to ensure the door is operating safely and smoothly before we leave.
Saving You From Future Hassle
If your garage door has two springs and one breaks, the other often isn’t far behind. Replacing both helps keep the door balanced and reduces strain on other components.
The Right Spring for Your Door
Springs must match your door’s size and weight. The wrong spring can cause poor balance, noisy operation, and premature wear. We select the proper springs and confirm performance with a balance test.
Safety Check Before We Finish
Before and after spring service, we perform a multi-point safety check to confirm the system is operating properly and to help identify worn components that could lead to future issues.
Longer-Lasting Springs Built for New Jersey Weather!
Not all springs are the same – especially in Central & South Jersey, where humidity and coastal salt air can accelerate rust. We offer high-cycle, green powder-coated springs and upgraded hardware designed for smoother operation and longer life.
What makes our spring options different:
- High-cycle ratings: Many standard springs are rated around 5,000–15,000 cycles. We offer spring options rated 25,000–50,000+ cycles for longer service life.
- Corrosion resistance: In a 72-hour salt spray test performed by a third-party research company, only Precision’s proprietary green powder-coated springs proved to be 100 percent resistant to corrosion.Â
- Stronger spring construction: High-cycle extension springs with double hoop ends are stronger than standard loop-end springs.
