Why Garage Door Spring Repair Matters

Garage door springs are under high tension and are responsible for lifting most of the door’s weight. When functioning properly, they allow your garage door to move smoothly with minimal effort. When they fail, the door may become unbalanced or stop working entirely.

A broken spring can also place additional strain on other components, including the opener, cables, and tracks. Continuing to use your garage door in this condition can lead to further damage and more costly repairs.

Timely spring repair helps restore proper balance, improve performance, and prevent additional issues. Professional service ensures that the correct type of spring is used and installed safely.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Repair

Different garage door systems use different types of springs. Metro Denver Garage Door has the experience to repair and replace both common types.

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and use torque to lift and lower the door. They are known for their durability and ability to provide smooth, controlled movement. When a torsion spring breaks, the door may not open at all or may lift unevenly.

Extension Springs

Extension springs are located along the sides of the garage door and stretch as the door moves. These springs help counterbalance the door’s weight. When an extension spring fails, it can cause the door to become unstable or uneven.
