Garage Door Spring Repair in Denver, CO

We have completed 104 spring jobs in Denver since 2020. Most were broken springs replaced like for like. Some were older one-piece spring systems we converted to standard torsion springs, because parts for those systems are hard to get.

Spring calls in Denver peak in April and November. On some visits the rollers, bearings or cables were worn too, so we check the whole door, not only the spring.

Most Denver homeowners find out the same way: a loud bang from the garage, then a door that will not open. Other signs we see on spring calls:

• A gap in the coiled spring above the door, or a spring hanging loose on one side.
• The opener hums or strains and the door lifts a few inches, then stops.
• The door feels far heavier than usual when you lift it by hand, or slams shut.
• The door goes up crooked, or a cable has come off its drum.

Please do not. The springs carry most of the weight of the door. With a spring broken, the full weight lands on you, the opener, and the cables, and a door that drops can hurt someone or bend the panels. Leave the door closed, keep the car where it is if you can, and read what to do after a spring breaks.

Springs are under heavy tension, so replacing one is not a safe do-it-yourself job. If your car is stuck inside, call us any time. We answer around the clock, and our average arrival time is about an hour and a half.

We replace both torsion springs and extension springs. A torsion spring has to match the door: its weight and height, and the spring’s wire size, length and inside diameter. The technician measures the door and the old spring, installs a matching pair, and balances the door so it stays put halfway up. The spring color code painted on many springs is a useful clue, but the measurements decide.

Springs work as a pair, so we replace them as a matched set. We also check the cables, drums, rollers and bearings, since a door that broke a spring has often worn those too. If you use your door many times a day, ask about high-cycle springs, which are built to last more cycles. Older all-in-one spring systems can be converted to standard torsion springs.

The price depends on the door: torsion or extension springs, the size and weight of the door, whether both springs are replaced, whether you choose high-cycle springs, and whether cables, rollers or bearings need replacing on the same visit. The technician tells you a flat-rate price before any work starts, and estimates are free.
