Your garage door weighs hundreds of pounds. Springs do the heavy lifting so your opener doesn’t have to. They keep the door balanced, make opening and closing smooth, and protect the motor from early burnout. Without properly working springs, your garage door becomes unsafe, unreliable, and can damage the opener system.

Types of Garage Door Springs
Torsion Springs
- Mounted above the door.
- Twist to create torque for balanced lifting.
- Longer lifespan and smoother operation.
- Standard for most modern garage doors.
Extension Springs
- Stretch and contract along the door tracks.
- More common in older systems.
- More prone to wear and sudden breakage.
How Do Garage Door Springs Work?
Garage door springs are tightly wound coils of steel engineered to store and release energy.
Torsion springs twist to lift the door evenly.
Extension springs stretch and contract to counterbalance the weight.
Most springs are rated for 10,000–15,000 cycles (one cycle = open + close). That’s about 7–10 years of average use before they wear out and need replacement.
Signs Your Garage Door Springs Are Failing
- Door won’t open or only lifts a few inches.
- Loud snap or bang from the garage.
- Visible gap in the spring coil.
- Door feels heavy, slams shut, or falls unevenly.
- Opener strains, shakes, or burns out quickly.
If you notice any of these signs, stop using the door and call a professional immediately.
