Garage Door Spring Repair

Spring Repair & Replacement

Our most common call is for a broken spring. The green springs are our signature. When you see a green spring, you know it's going to last.

The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) reports more than 7,500 people each year are pinched by their garage doors, most due to spring replacement. It's best to leave this job to the professionals!

Maintaining your garage door’s performance begins with choosing high-quality springs that match the door’s weight and size. The correct springs reduce strain on the opener, prolonging its lifespan and improving the overall operation of the door.

At Precision Garage Door Service of Fort Wayne, we service both torsion and extension springs, though torsion springs are the primary choice in Northeast Indiana due to their durability and smoother function. Torsion springs, mounted above the door, use a twisting motion to lift the door evenly, making them ideal for residential and commercial applications. Extension springs, which stretch along the door’s sides, are less common in this area and can be converted to the more reliable torsion system if desired. Switching to torsion springs can provide better safety and longer-lasting performance for your garage door.

We also recommend replacing both springs simultaneously, even if only one has broken. Garage door springs generally wear out around the same time, and replacing them together can save you the inconvenience and cost of a second service call.

In addition to spring replacement, each visit includes a 25-point safety inspection. This check identifies any other potential issues so you can address them before they become larger problems. With fully stocked trucks, our technicians can handle any additional repairs on-site, ensuring your garage door is safe and reliable after our visit.

How Much Does Spring Repair Cost?

Since garage door spring replacements is our most common call, our most common question is always "How much does it cost?". The type of springs your door needs factors into the cost so we don't have a flat replacement fee. 

In fact, we carry over 30 different types of springs! Rest assured, your technician will provide you with a full quote before beginning any spring repair work.

"One of the springs broke on our door. I was very happy with convenience of online scheduling for service. All the required parts were on the truck and the door was fixed within an hour. Our garage door is back in business."
