Broken Garage Door Spring Repair

A broken garage door spring can leave your door stuck, difficult to lift, or unsafe to operate. If you've heard a loud bang in your garage or your garage door won't open properly, a broken spring is often the cause.

At Hostetler Askew Door, we provide fast, professional garage door spring replacement for homeowners throughout Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

Garage door springs are under significant tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Spring replacement should always be performed by a trained professional.

Should both springs be replaced?

If your door has a two-spring system, replacing both springs at the same time is often recommended. Springs typically wear at a similar rate, and replacing both can help maintain proper door balance and reduce the likelihood of another failure soon after.

How long do garage door springs last?

Most standard torsion springs are designed for approximately 10,000 opening and closing cycles.
