24-Hour Emergency OC Garage Door Repair - Replacement Broken Spring - Installation & Service | Orange County

With over 15 years of experience, We're still replacing broken springs every day,

all day. We know exactly what spring your door needs.

The springs are a key aspect of garage door function. They provide the lifting power

of the door while using a level of tension to allow the proper balance and lifting

of the door. Over time, these springs develop fatigue and eventually will break.

Whether you can repair or replace your broken spring depends on several factors.

​

​

​

​

We Carry two different types of springs: torsion springs and extension springs, with over 15 different sizes.

​

1. Torsion springs A torsion spring is used to keep the door balanced and easily closed when not in use. This type of spring is located inside the garage and uses cables that run along the side of the door. It takes less strain on these springs to open heavy garage doors because they are attached to shafts that rotate as the door opens.

2. ​Extension spring systems are found on most garage doors and use stretched springs that provide lifting power as well as support for opening and closing. If needed, you should ask a professional about any adjustments that need to be made so that your extension-spring system runs safely and efficiently.

​

The lifespan of a garage door spring will vary greatly depending on the quality of the spring and factors such as use, environmental conditions, and other unknown issues. In general, most garage door springs are designed to last for 10,000 to 20,000 cycles.

A cycle is defined as one complete opening and closing of the garage door.

 

However, We see that some high-quality springs may be able to last for

significantly longer than this, possibly up to 50,000 cycles or more.

On the other hand, We find lower-quality springs may not last as long and may

need to be replaced after just a few thousand cycles.

 

It's also worth noting that the weight of the garage door can have an impact on

the lifespan of the springs. Heavier garage doors may put more strain on the

springs, which can cause them to wear out more quickly.

We carry regular & upgraded high-cycle springs.

 

In general, it's a good idea to have your garage door springs checked regularly by us to ensure that they are in good condition and not in need of replacement. This can help to extend the lifespan of the springs and prevent costly repairs down the road.
