How much does it cost to replace a broken garage door spring?
Answer: The cost to replace a garage door spring varies depending on the size and weight of your door, as well as whether you need a torsion or extension spring. On average, residential spring replacement ranges from $325 to $500, which includes high-quality parts and professional installation. We recommend always replacing both springs at the same time to ensure even tension and prevent the second spring from breaking shortly after.
How often should I have my garage door serviced?
Answer: To maximize the lifespan of your system and prevent costly emergency repairs, you should have your garage door professionally inspected and serviced at least once a year. Annual maintenance includes door lubrication, safety sensor alignment, spring tension testing, and a full hardware inspection.
Why is my garage door opening a few inches and then stopping?
Answer: This is usually caused by one of two common issues:
Blocked or misaligned safety sensors: Check the photo-eye sensors at the bottom of your garage tracks to ensure the lenses are clean and the indicator lights are solid.
A broken garage door spring: If a spring is broken, the garage door opener will detect the excessive weight and instantly stop lifting as a safety mechanism. If you see a gap in your spring, do not attempt to open the door.
