Your garage door springs are essential to the functionality and balance of your garage door system. While they don’t work alone, these springs take on most of the heavy lifting by managing the door’s weight. When the door lowers, the springs gain tension; when the door rises, they release that stored energy to make the process smooth and effortless.
Over time, springs can wear out, lose their ability to hold tension, or sustain damage from regular use. Most garage door springs last 10,000 cycles—that’s around 7–10 years of daily use. When springs fail, it’s crucial to seek professional garage door repair to maintain safety and avoid further damage.
Types of Garage Door Springs We Service
At Thunder Garage Door & Locksmith Services, we provide expert repair and replacement for all types of garage door springs. Whether your system uses torsion springs or extension springs, our technicians have the expertise to get your door functioning perfectly again.
Torsion Springs
- Description: Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door. They operate by twisting to store and release energy, which reduces stress and increases durability.
- Options:
- Standard Torsion Springs
- Early-Set Torsion Springs
- Steel-Rolling Door Torsion Springs
- Torque Master Torsion Springs
- Benefits: Torsion springs last longer, provide smoother operation, and are generally safer compared to extension springs.
Extension Springs
- Description: Installed on both sides of the garage door, extension springs stretch and contract to lift and lower the door.
- Common Applications: Ideal for garages with limited headroom where torsion springs cannot be installed.
- Drawbacks:
- Higher risk of snapping, which can cause damage or injury.
- Shorter lifespan compared to torsion springs.
- Require more components, increasing maintenance complexity.
Recommendation: While extension springs are sometimes necessary, we always recommend torsion springs when possible due to their enhanced durability and safety.
Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Repair
Not sure if your garage door springs are failing? Here are key warning signs that you may need garage door spring repair:
- Straining or Grinding Noises: Loud or unusual sounds when opening or closing the garage door.
- Door Slams Shut Suddenly: A sudden drop when closing indicates failing springs.
- Popping Sounds: Noise during operation often points to spring tension issues.
- Heavier Door: If the door feels unusually heavy, the springs may not be supporting its weight properly.
- Mid-Level Failure: If the door cannot stay at a halfway position when opened manually.
Ignoring these signs can cause further stress on your garage door opener and may lead to costly repairs or safety hazards
