How Do I Know if My Garage Door Spring Is Broken?
The most common sign is a loud bang from the garage. When a torsion spring snaps, it releases its stored tension sharply. The door will then appear lopsided, stop opening, or feel significantly heavier when lifted manually. Never operate the door until a trained professional replaces the spring. Torsion springs carry extreme tension and must only be handled by a certified technician.
Extension springs run parallel to the tracks on either side of the door and wear out with regular use. If your door needs garage door spring repair or broken garage door spring replacement, our team recommends keeping the door closed until a technician has inspected the full system. A broken spring puts the door’s full weight on the opener and cables, accelerating wear throughout.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring May Be Broken or Failing
A loud bang came from the garage while the door was opening or closing
The garage door opens only a few inches and then stops
The door appears crooked or sits lower on one side when fully closed
The door feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually
A visible gap appears in the torsion spring coil above the door
The door is moving unevenly, or one side is trailing the other
The opener motor runs but the door does not move
Visible wear, stretching, or rust is present on the spring coils
What You Need to Know About Torsion and Extension Springs
Torsion springs run horizontally across the top of the garage door opening and are the most common type in residential garage doors. They store mechanical energy when wound, using that energy to offset the weight of the door on every cycle. When a torsion spring breaks, it typically produces a loud bang and leaves a visible gap in the spring coil. The cables that run through the spring system act as a safety backup, preventing the door from crashing down if a spring snaps.
Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. Both spring types wear out over time with regular use and require lubrication with silicone or lithium-based grease every three months to maintain performance and reduce premature wear.Our professional technicians check both spring types, along with cable drums, rollers, and all associated hardware, as part of every spring repair visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a garage door with a broken spring be operated safely?
No. A broken spring puts the full weight of the door on the opener and cables, creating a serious safety risk. Keep the door closed and call our team for spring repair.
What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs run horizontally above the door opening. Extension springs run parallel to the tracks on either side. Both wear out over time and require professional replacement.
Do you provide broken garage door spring repair near me in Ontario?
Yes. Canadoor Garage Doors provides broken garage door spring repair across Ontario, serving homeowners in Barrie, Sudbury, Orillia, Simcoe County, Toronto, and the GTA.
How long does a garage door spring last?
Most residential springs are rated for a set number of cycles. Springs on doors used multiple times daily may wear out after 7 to 10 years. Regular lubrication helps extend their lifespan.
How do you lubricate garage door springs?
Apply silicone or lithium-based grease to the spring coils every three months. Avoid WD-40 as it is not suitable for springs. Our technicians demonstrate proper maintenance after every repair.
Do you offer emergency spring repair?
Yes. Our team provides 24/7 emergency broken garage door spring repair, including after-hours and weekend service for Ontario homeowners.
What happens if a cable snaps when a spring breaks?
Cables act as a safety backup if a spring fails, preventing the door from crashing down. If both the spring and cable have failed, the door is extremely dangerous and must not be operated.
Will my garage door opener burn out if I keep using it with a broken spring?
Yes. Without a working spring to offset the door’s weight, the opener motor works beyond its rated capacity, leading to premature burnout and a costly replacement on top of the spring repair.
Do you provide other garage door services beyond spring repair?
Yes. Our team provides complete garage door services for Ontario homeowners, including cable repair, opener installation, door replacement, and full preventative maintenance.
How much does garage door spring repair cost in Ontario?
Costs vary depending on spring type, door size, and whether additional components need servicing. We provide clear, upfront quotes for every broken spring repair before any work begins.
