Broken spring? We fix it the same day across San Diego County — honest price, no surprises, licensed crew.
The full weight of the door is unsupported. Running the opener can burn out the motor or cause the door to drop suddenly. Stop using it and call us — we can usually get there the same day.
Springs wear out gradually, but they can also snap without warning. Here's what to look and listen for.
A snapping torsion spring sounds like a gunshot. If you heard a loud pop and the door stopped working, it's almost certainly the spring.
Springs carry the door's weight. Without them, even a powerful opener can't lift the door — or it strains and burns out trying.
If the door jerks, stops midway, or one side is lower than the other, a spring is likely worn or broken on one side.
Look at the torsion spring above your door. A 2–3 inch gap in the coil means it has snapped and needs immediate replacement.
Noisy springs are often dry or rusting. Catching this early with lubrication or replacement prevents a full break.
Standard springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles. If your door is over a decade old and hasn't had springs replaced, they're living on borrowed time.
We work on both types found in San Diego County homes and businesses.
Mounted on a steel rod above the door opening. They wind and unwind to lift and lower the door. Most modern San Diego homes use torsion springs because they're safer, more balanced, and last longer.
We replace single and double torsion springs, and we carry high-cycle (25,000–50,000 cycle) upgrades for homes with heavy use.
Most common in SD CountyRun along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. They stretch and contract as the door moves. Older homes and some commercial doors still use these.
Extension springs require safety cables — we always check and replace those at the same time to prevent injury if a spring snaps again.

We recommend replacing both at the same time. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one breaks, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both now saves a second service call and a second labor charge.
Standard torsion springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles — roughly 7 to 12 years for a typical household. We offer high-cycle springs (25,000–50,000 cycles) that last significantly longer.
We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs store enormous tension and can cause severe injury if released unexpectedly. This is one job where the savings aren't worth the risk. Our licensed techs use calibrated tools and follow strict safety protocols.
