Springs are the muscle behind your garage door — they support hundreds of pounds and let the door move smoothly and stay balanced as it opens and closes. Like any mechanical part under constant tension, they don't last forever.
Standard springs are typically rated for around 10,000 cycles (one open-and-close counts as one cycle), which usually works out to about 7–10 years of average use. We also stock premium high-cycle springs rated up to 15,000 cycles, which are worth considering if your household opens the door multiple times a day.
When a spring breaks, the door often becomes extremely heavy, difficult to lift, or won't open at all — replacing it yourself can bend door panels, damage the opener, or cause serious injury, since the springs are under significant tension even when the door looks still. It's a job worth leaving to a professional.
Whether you have torsion springs (mounted above the door) or extension springs (along the upper tracks), we stock common spring sizes and perform a full safety check with every spring replacement visit.
We provide fast, affordable spring repair throughout Atlanta, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Marietta, and Buckhead and the rest of Metro Atlanta.
