Quick answer

What is broken garage door spring replacement?

Broken garage door spring replacement means removing a failed torsion or extension spring and installing new springs rated for your door’s weight, then winding or setting them so the door balances, and testing the opener and safety reversing. Springs do the lifting, so when one breaks the door becomes too heavy to open. It’s dangerous work because springs store a lot of tension. Eagle Automatic Gate & Door replaces garage door springs across the Bay Area.

Never adjust a garage door spring yourself.

Torsion springs hold enough tension to cause serious injury. Spring work needs the right bars, the right springs and training. Leave it to a technician.

I recently had an automatic gate opener installed by Eagle Automatic Gate & Door, and I’m very pleased with the whole experience. Out of the four companies I got quotes from, theirs was the most reasonable, by far. But what really made the difference was Richard. Straight shooter, no games.

We absolutely love our custom fabricated gates! We couldn’t find anything that fit the sizes and quality we were looking for. We spent hours online and didn’t want to risk the quality on an overseas gate. Matt and the team did an amazing job.

This company did an amazing job installing our new automatic iron driveway gate. Richard, our tech, was professional, friendly, and made everything so easy. They installed the gate, keypad, and solar system all in one day, and everything works great.

I needed someone to come out the same day to fix a gate issue caused by a tenant, and this company responded immediately! They sent someone out the same day, Sam fixed the sensor. He was on time, communicated very well throughout the process, and got everything working quickly. I highly recommend them.

“Spring jobs are some of the most common calls we get, and the ones I most want people to leave to us.”
JeffGate Installation Manager, Eagle Automatic Gate & Door
Do it yourself?

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs are wound with enough force to break bones, and winding bars slipping is a common cause of serious injuries. Getting the right spring size also matters, or the door will be unbalanced and wear out the opener. Keep the door closed, unplug the opener, and call a trained technician. Call our specialist and we’ll get it fixed safely.

Straight answers

Garage door spring questions.

Still not sure? Call us and describe what your gate is doing.

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?+

A loud bang, a door that won’t lift or feels very heavy, or a visible gap in a torsion spring above the door.

Should both springs be replaced?+

On doors with two springs, usually yes; the other one is near the end of its life too.

How much does spring replacement cost?+

It depends on the spring type and size. We give a written price before any work.

How long do garage door springs last?+

They’re rated by cycles; many last about 7 to 10 years of normal use.

Can I open my door with a broken spring?+

Don’t. The door is very heavy and can fall; call us instead.

Is spring replacement covered by a warranty?+

Our work is backed by a parts and labor warranty, and new doors and openers carry the manufacturer’s warranty.
