Home / Services / Spring Repair
A broken torsion spring is the No. 1 reason a garage door suddenly won’t open in the East Valley — and it’s the repair we’re fastest at. We stock springs on the truck and replace most East Valley pairs the same day, at the price we quote before we start.
When a torsion spring snaps you’ll usually hear a loud bang from the garage, then find the door won’t lift, feels like dead weight, or only rises a few inches before stopping. Look at the spring on the bar above the door — a 2–3 inch gap in the coil is the tell-tale sign. The opener may hum, strain, or reverse because it was never designed to lift the door’s full weight; the springs do that work, the opener just guides it.
On a two-spring door, when one breaks the other is right behind it. Replacing both at once keeps the door balanced, protects your opener from uneven strain, and saves you a second service call (and second labor charge) a few weeks later. We size the new springs to your door’s actual weight and wire diameter, not a generic guess, then balance and safety-test before we leave.
Because desert thermal cycling shortens spring life, we offer high-cycle springs rated 25,000+ cycles that last two to three times longer for only a small upcharge — the best long-term value in our trade for a door you use as your main entry. We also recommend galvanized springs that resist the rust and grit that wear standard springs in dusty Arizona garages.
A wound torsion spring stores an enormous amount of energy and causes serious injuries every year when released incorrectly. We carry the proper winding bars, cones, and replacement springs and follow safe procedures every time. If your door is down and won’t budge, leave it closed and call us — don’t keep hitting the opener button, which can strip the gear or pull the door off-track.
Pricing: $350 installed for a standard torsion pair. Free, no-pressure estimates.

Spring Repair in Maricopa →Our standard torsion-spring pair is $350 installed — parts and labor — for a typical residential door in the East Valley. Heavier, oversized, or high-cycle springs may vary, but we confirm the exact price before any work starts. No trip fees and no surprise add-ons.
Almost always. We stock common torsion springs on our trucks, so most East Valley spring breaks are handled same-day or next-day. Call or text 602-500-1800 and we’ll give you the soonest window.
Both. On a two-spring door the second spring is the same age and about to fail too. Replacing the pair keeps your East Valley door balanced, protects the opener, and avoids paying for a second visit within weeks.
A standard 10,000-cycle spring lasts about 5–7 years here — shorter than cooler climates because the East Valley’s heat fatigues the steel. Upgrading to a 25,000-cycle high-cycle spring can stretch that to 12–17 years.
Common signs: the door won’t open or only lifts a few inches then stops, you heard a loud bang from the garage, there’s a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door, the door feels extremely heavy by hand, or the opener strains and reverses. If you see a gap in the spring, stop using the door and call us.
Torsion springs mount on a metal shaft above the door and are the most common today; extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side. We service both, and usually recommend torsion springs for better balance, safety, and lifespan.
We don’t recommend it. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and have caused serious injuries; the job needs winding bars and the correct spring size for your door’s weight. It’s a fast, affordable pro fix, and the wrong spring can damage your door and opener.
Most breaks are simple metal fatigue from everyday cycles, sped up by Arizona’s heat and dry air, plus rust and skipped maintenance. Springs are rated by cycles (one open + close), so the more you use the door, the sooner it wears — which is why a high-cycle upgrade pays off here.
Please don’t force it. With a broken spring the door is dangerously heavy and the opener isn’t built to lift that weight — running it can burn out the motor or bend the door. If your car is stuck inside, call or text 602-500-1800 and we’ll prioritize getting you out.
Yes. Our spring replacements are backed by a workmanship warranty, and high-cycle springs carry a longer service life. We go over the exact coverage when we confirm your price — in writing, before any work starts.
