A broken garage door spring is one of the most common and most disruptive garage door problems. The springs carry the weight of the door, so when one breaks the door often becomes too heavy to open and your car can be trapped inside. If your spring has failed in Amberton, trust the local experts at Precision Garage Door Service of Bakersfield.

Springs are under constant tension and wear out over time. Common reasons they fail include:

• Normal wear from thousands of open and close cycles over the years.
• Rust and corrosion that weaken the metal.
• Temperature swings and Central Valley heat, which we cover in our article on how extreme heat affects garage door springs.
• Lack of maintenance, which a yearly safety inspection helps prevent.

Because a broken spring throws the whole door out of balance, it can also affect the rollers and cables and the opener, so we inspect the full system.

Most garage doors use one of two spring types. Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door and are common on heavier doors. Extension springs run along the tracks on either side. Our broken spring repair service covers both. Our technician identifies which type your door uses and replaces it with a quality spring matched to your door size and weight.

Garage door springs hold a large amount of tension, and a spring that is handled incorrectly can release with enough force to cause serious injury. This is not a safe do-it-yourself project. Our trained technicians have the tools and experience to release the tension safely, install the correct spring, and rebalance the door. It is also best not to operate a door with a broken spring, since doing so can damage the opener and other parts.

1. Safety first. We secure the door and release the spring tension safely.
2. Full inspection. We check the springs, rollers and cables, tracks, and hardware to confirm nothing else was damaged.
3. Spring replacement. We install a quality spring matched to your door, using reliable parts and accessories.
4. Balance and calibration. We make sure the door opens evenly and is not too heavy for the opener.
5. Lubrication and multi-point safety check. We test the door and confirm it operates safely and smoothly.

Not all springs are the same. A spring is rated for a number of open and close cycles, and a standard spring may reach the end of its life after years of regular use. For homes that use the garage door as the main entrance, we can install high-cycle springs that are built to last significantly longer. Our technician can explain the options and help you choose a spring matched to how often your family uses the door.
