Broken Spring Replacement in the garage, step by step
A garage door spring stores an enormous amount of energy and releases it violently when it fails. It is genuinely one of the most dangerous repairs in a house to attempt with the wrong tools, and it is not a place to save a call-out fee.
Springs are replaced in pairs even when only one has broken, because the second is the same age with the same cycle count and will go within months. Replacing one is paying the labor twice.

FAQ
Questions we hear at the garage about broken spring replacement
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The door will not open, or opens a few inches and stops; the opener strains or the door feels like it weighs a ton by hand; there is a visible gap in the coil of a torsion spring above the door; and often there was a loud bang from the garage. A door with a broken spring should not be operated — the opener is not built to lift it, and the door can fall.
Why replace both springs when only one broke?
Because they were installed together and have done the same number of cycles, and the second one is about to go. Replacing one leaves the door unbalanced with a new spring and a worn one, and it means a second call within months. The pair is replaced together, and the door is balanced afterwards so the opener is not doing the springs’ work.
