With a broken spring, the door has no counterbalance, it can weigh 150-300 lbs and drop without warning. Leave it where it is and call us.
Call (818) 412-6679Spring replacement across LA in 30 minutesThe spring does the lifting, not the opener. When it breaks, the door becomes 150-350 lbs of dead weight, which is why the fix has to be done right, with the correct spring for your door, and why we won't quote it blind over the phone.
| Spring type | Where it is | How it usually fails | What we do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torsion spring | On a steel bar above the door opening; one spring on most single doors, two on most double doors. | Snaps with a loud bang. You'll see a gap of about 1-2 inches in the coil; the door won't lift or lifts a few inches and stops. | Measure the door's weight and height, install springs with the matching wire size, inside diameter and length, wind to the right tension and re-balance the door. |
| Extension spring | One on each side, running along the horizontal tracks. | Stretches out or breaks on one side; the door goes up crooked or slams down. | Replace both springs as a pair and fit safety cables through them so a future break can't send the spring across the garage. |
One cycle is one open and one close. Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, so with a family using the door 4-8 times a day that's roughly 4-7 years. High-cycle springs (20,000-30,000 cycles) cost more up front and last two to three times longer. We quote both on site so you can choose.
Door size and weight (single vs. double, steel vs. wood, insulated or not), torsion or extension, one spring or two, standard or high-cycle, and whether the cables or bearings need replacing at the same time. The technician gives you a written price before starting, and the visit is $0 if you decide not to go ahead.

A broken garage door spring can bring your entire day to a stop. It can leave your garage door stuck, make the door unsafe to use, and put extra strain on the opener and other parts of the system. At Prime Garage Systems, we provide professional garage door spring replacement services for homeowners across the Los Angeles area.
Our technicians inspect the issue, identify whether the spring is broken, worn, or losing tension, and replace it with the correct spring for your garage door system. We focus on safe repairs, quality parts, and dependable workmanship so your garage door operates smoothly again. We understand how disruptive a broken garage door can be. It can leave your vehicle trapped inside, prevent the door from closing securely, and create a serious safety concern for your property. That’s why we focus on fast response times, honest recommendations, and workmanship you can count on.
When a garage door spring fails, it affects much more than convenience. A broken spring can leave your garage door stuck in place, prevent it from closing securely, or put excessive strain on the opener as it tries to lift a door it is no longer designed to handle alone. In some cases, this means your vehicle may be trapped inside the garage when you need it most. In others, it can leave your property exposed because the garage door cannot fully close or lock properly. Since garage doors are heavy moving systems, continuing to operate a door with a damaged spring can also create unnecessary safety risks for your household.
At Prime Garage Systems, we provide professional garage door spring replacement services for homeowners throughout the Los Angeles area. Our technicians begin by carefully inspecting the garage door system to determine whether the spring is fully broken, weakened from age and use, or simply losing tension and causing the door to operate unevenly. From there, we replace the damaged spring with the correct spring type and size for your specific garage door system. This ensures the door is properly balanced, operates more smoothly, and reduces strain on the opener and related hardware.
Garage door springs are responsible for lifting and balancing the full weight of the door. When they wear out or break, the garage door may stop working properly or become dangerous to operate. We repair and replace common spring-related issues including:
