Gap in a torsion spring
A visible separation in the spring above the door, followed by a door that lifts only a little, is a common broken-spring symptom. Do not touch the spring, shaft, cable drums, or bottom brackets.
Garage Door Spring Replacement in Northern NJ
A broken spring can leave the door too heavy or unstable to move safely. Leave the opener off and keep clear of the lift system until it is inspected.
Extension spring problem
Loose or stretched springs beside the horizontal tracks can leave the door uneven. The pulleys, safety cables, lift cables, and matching spring need to be checked together.
Door suddenly feels heavy
A loud event and a heavy door can involve a spring or another lift-system failure. Disconnect power to the opener, but do not pull the release on a raised or damaged door.
Spring sizing comes from the door
The replacement has to match the door weight, height, track, drums, spring location, and hardware. Wire size, inside diameter, length, wind, and the complete system matter. A paint mark or online color chart is not enough to size a torsion spring.
On a two-spring system, both springs should be inspected. The estimate should explain whether one or both are included and why. Related parts should be replaced only when condition or compatibility calls for it.
Price depends on the installed system
Door size and weight, spring type, number of springs, access, related damage, proprietary hardware, and parts availability can change the scope. We provide a free estimate before approved work begins.
