Torsion & Extension Spring Repair The #1 Garage Door Emergency

Broken garage door springs are the most common and most dangerous garage door problem. A torsion spring carries hundreds of pounds of tension and can cause serious injury or property damage if improperly handled. Never attempt a DIY spring replacement. Our factory-trained technicians are equipped with specialized tools and safety equipment to replace springs quickly and safely.

We stock heavy-duty springs rated for 20,000+ cycles, significantly exceeding the industry-standard 10,000-cycle springs typically installed by builders. This means your new springs will last 2-3 times longer than what came with your door originally saving you money and preventing future breakdowns for years to come.

Heavy-Duty Spring Replacement

Torsion and extension springs carry enormous tension and are the most dangerous component of a garage door system. When springs fail and they will eventually the failure is sudden and absolute. Your door becomes deadweight that no opener can lift, and attempting to operate the door manually risks serious injury. This is why spring replacement must always be performed by trusted professionals with proper equipment and training.

At Karina Garage Doors, we exclusively install premium heavy-duty springs rated for 20,000-30,000 cycles more than double the standard 10,000-cycle builder-grade springs. For the average household (4 cycles per day), this means your springs will provide 14-20 years of reliable service instead of 7 years. We replace both springs simultaneously (we never recommend replacing just one), perform precision tension calibration, inspect and lubricate cables, and test your door's balance.

Our spring replacement service includes a comprehensive evaluation of your entire door system we check cables for fraying or corrosion, inspect rollers and hinges for wear, examine the opener for safety issues, and assess the overall condition of your tracks. Many spring failures are preventable with regular maintenance and proper lubrication. All springs are backed by our 1-year comprehensive warranty, and we provide ongoing maintenance tips to extend your system's life.

Standard Springs Last 7-10 Years (Ours Last Longer)

Most builder-grade torsion springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles one open-and-close being one cycle. For the average household opening their garage 4 times per day, this translates to roughly 7 years of service life. Factors like Southern California's heat and inadequate lubrication can shorten this considerably. At Karina Garage Doors, we exclusively install heavy-duty springs rated for 20,000-30,000 cycles, effectively doubling or tripling the service life compared to standard springs. Signs your springs are nearing end of life: squeaking, visible rust or gaps in the coils, and the door feeling heavier when operated manually.

Should I replace both springs?Emergency response times
⚙️
We Always Recommend Replacing Both Springs Simultaneously

If one spring has broken, the other is almost certainly near the end of its service life too both were installed at the same time and have experienced identical wear cycles. Replacing only the broken spring leaves you vulnerable to a second breakdown within months when the remaining spring fails. Replacing both at the same time saves money in the long run (one service call, one labor charge), ensures your door is perfectly balanced, and eliminates the frustration of a repeat breakdown. We make this recommendation in your best interest in fact, replacing both springs at once is almost always less expensive than two separate service calls.
