When You Need Spring Repair
Garage door springs are under high tension and are responsible for counterbalancing the entire weight of your door. When they fail, the system stops working immediately. Because these components are dangerous, we recommend letting a trained professional handle the assessment and replacement. Here are the common signs that your springs have failed:
- The Loud Bang: Torsion springs are wound tight. When they snap, they create a sound often described as a gunshot or a firecracker going off inside the garage. This is the most common indicator of a broken spring.
- Door Won’t Lift: If your garage door opener struggles to lift the door, or if it stops after moving only a few inches, the spring has likely lost its tension or broken. The motor is not designed to lift the full weight of the door without the spring’s assistance.
- Uneven Movement: If your door looks crooked or tilted while moving, one of the springs in a dual-spring system may have failed, causing the door to bind against the track.
- Gap in the Coil: If you look at the torsion spring mounted above the door (on the shaft), you will see a visible separation or a clean break between the coils. This is the definitive visual proof of a failure.
- Cable Slack: When a spring breaks, the cables attached to the bottom brackets often lose tension and may slip off the drums. If you see loose cables hanging near the tracks, do not attempt to operate the door, as this creates a significant safety hazard.
If you notice any of these symptoms, please call (561) 489-7509. We prioritize these calls because a broken spring leaves your home vulnerable and the door in an unsafe state.
Our Spring Repair Process
We follow The Haven Standard on every service call. This ensures that you receive a consistent, high-quality experience every time we arrive at your home. We do not believe in “call for a quote” games; we believe in showing you the problem and providing the price before we start.
- Arrival and Assessment: Our technician arrives at your West Palm Beach property in a marked vehicle. We immediately inspect the door, the opener, and the hardware. Per Clause 4 of The Haven Standard, we photograph the failed component-in this case, your broken spring-so you can see exactly what failed before we propose a solution.
- Written Scope and Pricing: Before a single tool is used, we provide a written scope of work and a flat price. This covers the removal of the old spring, the installation of the new, high-cycle spring, and a full balance test of your door system.
- Professional Replacement: We replace the broken spring using high-quality parts designed for the specific weight and dimensions of your door. We service all major brands, including Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton. We ensure the new spring is calibrated to the exact inch-pounds required for your door’s weight.
- Safety Inspection: Once the new spring is installed, we test the door’s balance. A properly balanced door should stay in place when lifted halfway manually. We also check the cables, rollers, and hinges to ensure no other components were damaged during the spring failure.
- Documented Photo Record: We conclude the job by providing you with a documented photo record of the work performed. You receive proof that the new spring is installed correctly and that the door is balanced, fulfilling our commitment to transparency.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs this entire process. If the repair isn’t right, we make it right. This is not a handshake deal; it is a documented commitment to your home’s safety and functionality.

FAQs - Spring Repair
How much does it cost to replace a garage door spring in West Palm Beach?
Garage door spring replacement in West Palm Beach typically ranges from $225 to $450 depending on whether you have a single or dual spring system and the specific cycle rating of the springs required. We provide a firm, written price for your specific door before starting any work, ensuring there are no surprises on your final invoice. Call (561) 489-7509 for an exact quote.
Can you fix my garage door spring today?
Yes, we offer emergency garage door service and can often handle spring replacements on the same day you call. When you contact us, we will provide an estimated arrival window, and you will receive a text when our technician is on the way. We prioritize spring repairs because a broken spring prevents the door from operating safely, so please call (561) 489-7509 to get on our schedule.
Is it better to replace one spring or both?
If you have a dual-spring system and one has failed, we strongly recommend replacing both springs at the same time. Springs are manufactured with a specific cycle life; if one has snapped due to fatigue, the other is likely at the end of its lifespan as well. Replacing both ensures your door remains balanced and prevents you from having to pay for a second service visit shortly after the first. Call (561) 489-7509 for advice on your specific setup.
What brands of springs do you carry?
We stock high-quality springs that are compatible with all major garage door brands, including Genie, Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton. Our technicians calibrate the spring size to the exact weight of your door, regardless of the manufacturer. If you need a specific replacement part or have questions about your door’s compatibility, give us a call at (561) 489-7509.
