Broken garage door spring? Do not try to lift the door.
Garage door springs hold hundreds of pounds of tension so your door feels light. When one snaps, usually with a sound like a gunshot, the door suddenly becomes extremely heavy. Lifting it by hand or running the opener can damage the opener, bend the door or cause serious injury. Leave it closed and call a professional.
Torsion vs. extension springs
Torsion springs mount on a steel shaft above the door opening and are found on most modern homes in North Miami. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side and are common on older homes. We stock both types and match the correct wire size, length and inside diameter to your door's weight so it is perfectly balanced.

Frequently asked questions
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, or roughly 7 to 10 years of normal use. High-cycle springs can last two to three times longer, which is a smart upgrade for busy households.
Should I replace both springs?
If your door has two springs and one breaks, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both at once saves a second service call and keeps the door balanced.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
It is not recommended. The door can be extremely heavy and may fall. Pull the emergency release only if the door is fully closed, and call us for a same-day spring replacement.
Is spring replacement a same-day service?
Yes. Our trucks carry the most common spring sizes, so most spring replacements in North Miami and nearby cities are completed the same day.
