How We Replace Broken Springs Safely and Efficiently

How We Replace Broken Springs Safely and Efficiently

April 14, 20252 min read

A broken garage door spring is one of the most common and dangerous problems you can have with your garage system. It can leave your door stuck, heavy, or unsafe to use.

At A&N Garage Door Services, we specialize in safe and efficient spring replacement for both residential and commercial properties across Indiana. Here’s what our process looks like—and why it matters.

🛑 First: Why Spring Repair Is NOT a DIY Job

Garage door springs are wound tightly under extreme tension—often enough to lift a 200+ pound door with ease. If you try to remove or adjust one without proper tools and training, it can cause:

• Serious injury (to hands, face, or head)

• Damage to your door or opener

• Unbalanced operation that leads to more repairs later

📍 That’s why spring replacement should only be done by trained professionals like our certified team at A&N.

🔧 Our Spring Replacement Process (Step-by-Step)

Here’s what you can expect when we arrive at your home or business:

1. Full Inspection

We begin by inspecting the entire garage door system—not just the broken spring. We check for worn cables, damaged rollers, or signs of opener strain.

2. Safe Removal of the Broken Spring

We use specialized tools to release and remove the damaged spring without harming the surrounding components. We follow strict safety protocols on every job.

3. New Spring Installation

We install high-quality, heavy-duty torsion or extension springs, precisely matched to your door’s size and weight. If your door uses two springs, we recommend replacing both to maintain balance and even wear.

4. Balance & Test

Once installed, we manually balance the door to ensure smooth, effortless motion. Then we reconnect the opener and test the system multiple times.

5. Free Lube & Tune-Up

Before we leave, we lubricate all moving parts and complete a full garage door tune-up—included free with every spring repair.

We replace springs on commercial overhead doors, roll-up doors, and industrial bay doors with the same precision and urgency.
