A broken spring is the most common reason a garage door suddenly stops working — and one of the most dangerous to fix yourself. Springs are under extreme tension, and a single snapped coil can leave a heavy door stuck shut (or worse, drop unexpectedly).
Ryan Garage Door replaces torsion and extension springs with correctly-rated, durable hardware matched to your exact door weight. We carry common sizes on the truck, so most repairs are finished the same day you call.

Signs your spring needs attention
- A loud “bang” from the garage (a spring snapping)
- The door won’t open, or only opens a few inches
- A visible gap or separation in the spring coil
- The door feels extremely heavy or slams shut
- The opener strains, reverses, or struggles to lift
💡 Most spring jobs are completed in a single visit.
Common questions
How long does a spring repair take?
Most single- or double-spring replacements are completed in under an hour once we’re on site, and we carry common sizes with us so it’s usually same-day.
Should I keep using the door with a broken spring?
No — operating a door with a broken spring puts dangerous strain on the opener and cables and can be unsafe. Stop using it and call us.
