Common Spring-Related Issues

A broken garage door spring can make the door unbalanced and challenging to operate. When a spring breaks, the door’s weight surges, potentially causing the garage door opener to struggle or fail. This can leave the garage door open, posing security risks. To prevent these issues, regular maintenance of the garage door opening mechanism is crucial. It’s recommended to replace both springs simultaneously for balanced and safe operation, minimizing the risk of damage to the garage door opener. Prioritizing proper maintenance ensures a smoothly functioning and secure garage door system.

Garage Door Spring Sizes

Just like any other component, garage door springs come in different sizes. To ensure peak performance, selection of correct spring size is necessary, as it varies based on the weight and dimensions of the door. The size of the spring is determined by its wire size, inside diameter, overall length, and the height of the garage door. They come in sizes such as two-inch diameter springs, 1 ½-inch springs, and other measurements.


Using an incorrect size can lead to damage to smaller components in the opening mechanism, overstretching of the springs, and increased weight on the door.

Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Replacement

Over time, many garage door springs may wear down and need replacement. But how can you tell? There are several signs to watch out for. If your door feels heavy or opens unevenly, it can be an indication of a broken spring. A visual inspection may reveal a split in the spring or a visible gap in the torsion spring when the garage door is closed.

Regular inspections and replacement springs can help detect these issues early. In a double garage door setup, if only one spring is broken, it is advisable to replace both springs for maintaining proper function and balance.

We keep all springs in stock to provide same day service (standard sizes).

Maintenance Tips for long Spring Lifespan

Similar to other mechanical components, garage door springs require regular maintenance. Regular maintenance, including lubrication and inspection, can not only prolong the lifespan of your garage door springs but also prevent premature failure. Lubricating your garage door springs at least twice a year using a 3-IN-ONE® Garage Door Lube is advisable.

In addition to lubrication, conducting frequent inspections helps maintain the springs’ optimal performance. When properly installed and maintained, a well-maintained garage door spring should typically last between 10,000 and 20,000 cycles of opening and closing. Regular maintenance can help ensure longevity and reliability.
