Why Springs Fail

A Broken Spring Can Leave You Stuck — Here’s What You Need to Know

Garage door springs carry the full weight of your door — sometimes 200–400 lbs — through tens of thousands of open/close cycles. When a spring snaps, your door won’t open safely (or at all). Attempting to operate a door with a broken spring risks damaging the opener, cables, and tracks — or causing serious injury.

At Aura Seal Garage Techs, spring replacement is our most common repair call. Our technicians are trained exclusively on garage systems, carry high-cycle replacement springs on every truck, and can have your door working again the same day you call.

  • Door won’t open or opens only a few inches
  • Loud bang heard from garage (spring snapping)
  • Door feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
  • Visible gap or separation in the spring coil
  • Door closes too fast or crashes down
  • Opener strains or reverses immediately

Spring Types

Torsion Springs vs. Extension Springs — What’s the Difference?

Knowing your spring type helps you understand what’s involved in replacement. Both types are dangerous under tension — always leave replacement to a trained professional.

🌀 Torsion Springs

Mounted horizontally above the door opening. Use torque to lift the door. More common in newer and heavier doors.

  • Last 10,000–20,000 cycles (7–14 years avg.)
  • Better weight distribution, smoother operation
  • Available in single or double torsion setups
  • Higher-cycle options available (up to 100,000)
  • Safer when they break — energy stays coiled
  • We replace with galvanized, oil-tempered steel

↔ Extension Springs

Mounted along the horizontal tracks on each side. Stretch and contract to counterbalance the door’s weight.

  • Last 7,000–10,000 cycles (5–7 years avg.)
  • Common in older homes and lighter doors
  • Always replaced in pairs for balanced operation
  • Safety cables required — we always install them
  • Less expensive per spring but wear faster
  • We upgrade to higher-cycle springs when possible
⚠ Safety Warning: Garage door springs are under extreme tension — up to 400 ft-lbs of stored energy. Never attempt DIY replacement. A snapping spring can cause severe injury or death. Call us — we have the tools and training to do it safely.

Customer Reviews

What Littleton Residents Are Saying

“Our torsion spring snapped at 7AM on a Monday — my car was trapped inside. Aura Seal had someone out by 9:30AM, replaced both springs, balanced the door, and it’s running better than ever. Worth every penny.”

“Honest pricing — the tech told me upfront it was $270 for both torsion springs and that’s exactly what I paid. No add-ons, no drama. He was done in under an hour and showed me how to spot wear before they break.”

FAQs

Garage Door Spring FAQs

How long does a garage door spring replacement take?
Most spring replacements take 45–75 minutes for a trained technician. If additional repairs are needed (cables, drums), it may take up to 90 minutes. We’ll give you a time estimate over the phone based on your door type.
Should I replace both springs at once?
Yes — and we always recommend it. If one spring has broken, the other is likely at the same wear point and will fail soon. Replacing both now saves you a second service call, and keeps your door balanced. For extension springs, it’s standard practice to always replace in pairs.
Can I open my garage door if a spring is broken?
Technically you can pull the emergency release and lift manually, but the door may weigh 150–400 lbs without spring assistance and can fall without warning. We strongly advise against it. If your car is trapped, call us — same-day service is available.
How long do new garage door springs last?
Standard replacement springs are rated at 10,000 cycles. For the average household using the door 4 times per day, that’s roughly 7 years. We offer high-cycle options (25,000–30,000 cycles) that can last 15–20 years under normal use.
Is garage door spring replacement covered by homeowners insurance?
In most cases, no. Spring breakage is considered normal wear and tear, which is typically excluded from standard homeowners policies. However, if the spring break caused damage to your car or property, that damage may be covered. Check with your insurer.
Do you service all garage door brands?
Yes. We carry springs compatible with all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Amarr, Clopay, Wayne Dalton, Sears/Craftsman, and more. If your door has a spring, we can replace it.
Do you offer a warranty on spring replacements?
Yes. All spring replacements come with a parts warranty based on the spring’s cycle rating, plus a 90-day labor warranty. High-cycle spring upgrades carry an extended warranty. Details provided in writing at time of service.
