Same-day spring replacement across Citrus Heights and nearby areas. We fit high-cycle springs, and we explain the problem and the price before any work starts.

Spring Repairs We Handle

Torsion Spring Replacement

The standard setup on most modern doors. We measure your door and fit the correct spring so it balances properly through the whole travel.

Extension Spring Repair

Older side-mounted spring systems repaired or replaced, with containment safety cables fitted where they are missing.

Snapped or Broken Springs

A snapped spring is the usual reason a door will not lift. We replace it and re-tension the system to the door’s weight.

Cables Off After Spring Failure

When a spring lets go, the cables usually come off the drums. We reseat them and check the door and track for damage.

High-Cycle Springs

We fit high-cycle springs so the repair lasts. A standard spring is rated far lower than most households actually use.

Balance & Safety Check

After any spring work we test the door balance, the auto-reverse and the safety sensors before we leave.

A Real Spring Replacement in Granite Bay

The same door, before and after. If your spring looks like the one on the left, it is at the end of its life and the door is unsafe to operate.

Before — worn torsion spring

Rust, stretched coils and a shaft that has seen years of cycles. A spring in this condition is on borrowed time and can let go without warning.

After — new torsion spring fitted

A new high-cycle spring with a fresh center bearing plate. The door was balance-tested and safety-checked before we left.

FAQ

Spring Repair FAQs

Why did my garage door spring snap after only 5 or 6 years?

Early spring failure is almost always caused by cheap, undersized generic builder-grade wire or a miscalculation by a previous technician. If a matching wire isn’t custom-engineered to your door’s exact weight, the internal steel fatigues rapidly under high tension and snaps prematurely.

What is the benefit of your premium oil-tempered torsion springs?

We never guess on your hardware. We physically unhook your system and weigh your door on an analog scale down to the pound on-site. We then pull heavy-duty, oil-tempered USA-made high-cycle springs from our truck bins that are calculated precisely to match that weight, delivering a balanced lifecycle built to run beautifully for 15+ years.

Should I replace both garage door springs if only one is broken?

Yes, absolutely. Garage door springs are manufactured to hit the same structural fatigue limit. When one spring snaps, it means the matching spring has endured the exact same number of cycles and is under the same stress, typically snapping days or weeks later. Replacing them as a matching pair saves you a second service call.
