Fast Repair and Reliable Fixes Available Today

When a garage door spring breaks, time is crucial. Most homeowners in Apple Valley discover the issue when leaving for work or securing their home at night. The loud “bang” is the sound of high-tension metal releasing energy, leaving your electric opener unable to lift the door. Lifting it manually can cause severe injury. Good Golly Garage Doors offers a full solution that addresses the  failure and prevents future issues. We handle both primary types of springs:

• Torsion Springs: Mounted above the door opening, under extreme tension, requiring precise calibration.
• Extension Springs: Found along upper tracks, often in older homes, requiring safety cables to prevent dangerous snapping.

We install high-grade steel springs rated from 10,000 to 25,000+ cycles for long-term reliability. Every service includes a full system tune-up to check cables, rollers, opener gears, hardware, lubrication, and door balance so your system runs safely and smoothly.

Our Simple Process for Spring Repair

Repairing garage door springs is dangerous due to extreme tension, requiring expert tools and training. Good Golly Garage Doors follows strict safety protocols from start to finish.

Assessment and Safety Securement

We secure the door closed, inspect the broken spring, and measure wire size, diameter, and length. Installing the wrong size results in an unbalanced door that strains the motor.

Unwinding and Removal

For two-spring systems, tension must be safely unwound from the intact spring. Both springs are removed to ensure equal cycle life and proper balance.

Installation of New Hardware

New springs are mounted onto the torsion tube, and bearings are inspected and replaced if worn. Components are re-secured and aligned.

Winding and Balancing

Springs are wound to the required number of turns. The door is tested to ensure it stays balanced at mid-height. We fine-tune tension until perfect neutral balance is achieved.

Lubrication and Testing

We lubricate coils with a clean, non-silicone formula, reconnect the opener, and test safety features, including the auto-reverse system, through full open–close cycles.

Deciding Between Repair or Full Replacement

Homeowners often wonder whether repairing a spring is enough or if the entire system needs replacement. A broken spring alone is not a reason to replace the door. If your panels are in good condition, replacement springs restore full functionality for years to come. However, Good Golly Garage Doors will recommend replacement when necessary, such as:

Structural Damage to Panels

Sagging, bending, or cracked sections cannot be corrected with new springs and will cause premature failure.

Lack of Safety Features

Older systems lacking modern sensors or safety cables pose a hazard and may not justify repair.

Mismatched Panels or Hardware

Doors pieced together from varied parts may not balance correctly, creating danger and excessive wear.

Insulation Requirements

If you have a non-insulated steel door and want better efficiency, an upgrade may be more beneficial than repairs.
