A broken spring is the #1 reason a garage door won't open — and it's dangerous to force. We replace torsion and extension springs same day, with the correct gauge for your door.
Same-day spring replacement · No call-out fee · Parts in stock
Garage door springs carry the entire weight of the door — often 150 pounds or more. When one breaks, the door becomes too heavy for the opener to lift and unsafe to move by hand. It's the most common failure we're called for, and on a cold morning it can happen to a door that worked perfectly the day before.
The good news: it's a routine, same-day repair for a trained technician. We carry the common torsion and extension springs on the van, so most spring jobs are finished on the first visit, the same day you call.
Spot any of these? Don't force the door — call and we'll handle it safely.
Springs snap with a sharp crack, often mistaken for a gunshot.
The opener strains but the door won't lift past the floor.
You can see a 2-inch separation in the coil on the bar above the door.
Without spring tension the full weight drops onto you or the opener.
It drops fast instead of lowering smoothly — a clear safety hazard.
The motor works, but there's no counterbalance left to help it lift.
With the right wire size for your door, so it's balanced and done in one visit.
Mounted on a bar above the door. We match the wire size, length and wind so the door is balanced and the opener isn't overworked — always replaced in pairs for even wear.
Run along the upper tracks on each side. We replace them with safety cables installed so a future break can't send the spring flying across your garage.
Garage door springs are wound under enormous tension — that's the whole point of them. Releasing or installing one without the correct winding bars and technique is how people lose fingers and break bones every year.
Beyond the danger, getting it right matters: springs come in specific wire gauges, lengths and wind directions matched to your door's exact weight. The wrong spring wears out fast or leaves the door unbalanced and hard on the opener.
When we arrive, we weigh and measure the door, match the correct spring, and replace them in pairs. Then we cycle and balance the door so it opens smoothly and the opener isn't straining.
Most spring jobs are done in under an hour, and we add safety cables to extension-spring doors so a future break can't whip loose. You get a clear price before we start — no call-out fee, no surprises — plus a warranty on the new springs.
Honest, up-front pricing — confirmed before we start, parts included.

These are typical price ranges — your final cost depends on your door, the parts needed and what the repair involves, and is set by the technician after inspecting it. We confirm the price before any work, with no call-out fee.

Same-day spring repair across Philadelphia, the PA suburbs and South Jersey.
A single torsion spring typically runs $250–$500 installed, a torsion pair $400–$700, and an extension spring set $180–$350. Prices vary with door size and spring type — your technician confirms the exact price after inspecting the door, with no call-out fee.
On a two-spring door we replace both. They wear at the same rate, so a fresh spring paired with an old one quickly fails again — replacing the pair keeps the door balanced and saves a second call-out.
Most spring replacements are done in 45–90 minutes on the first visit. We carry common sizes on the van so there's no waiting for parts.
No. The springs carry the door's full weight. Forcing it can damage the opener or drop the door. Leave it closed and call us.
We strongly advise against it. Springs are under extreme tension and cause serious injuries every year. A correct repair also needs the right spring size and a balance adjustment — leave it to a technician.
Most stock springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles — roughly 7 years of normal use. High-cycle upgrade springs last about twice as long. An annual tune-up helps catch a tired spring before it snaps.
Torsion springs sit on a metal bar above the door; extension springs run along the tracks on each side. We replace both types and bring the right parts either way.
Yes. Every spring we install is backed by a warranty, and we balance and tune the door so the new springs last as long as possible.
Yes — same-day service across Philadelphia, the PA suburbs and South Jersey, seven days a week (Mon–Sat 8am–9pm, Sun 9am–7pm).
