Garage Door Spring Repair in Westchester County, NY

Tap to call · (203) 866-1000

A broken garage door spring is the most common repair we handle, and the one you should not put off. Springs carry the entire weight of the door, so when one lets go the door becomes dangerous to operate and can trap your car inside. We stock both torsion and extension springs on the truck and match them to your door on the spot.

We have been doing this since 1954, and the owner still stands behind the work. Most spring jobs finish within an hour, with the full price confirmed before we start.

Sounds familiar?

Signs your spring has failed

The door will not open, or the opener strains and stops partway.
A loud bang came from the garage, usually the spring letting go.
The door drops fast instead of lowering smoothly.
You can see a gap in the coiled spring mounted above the door.
No surprises

What our spring repair includes

We measure your existing spring's wire size, length, and inside diameter so the replacement matches, because the wrong spring wears out fast and throws the door off balance.

  • Existing spring measured and matched
  • Spring replaced and re-tensioned properly
  • Moving parts cleaned and lubricated
  • Door balance and safety reverse tested
  • Cables and rollers checked while we are there
  • Work area cleaned up before we go

Why homeowners call us

High-tension work, done right since 1954

Spring work is genuinely dangerous to do yourself. We confirm the full price before we start, and if your door has two springs we will tell you honestly whether both need replacing.

While we are there we often catch a fraying cable or worn roller before it becomes the next problem, see cable and roller repair. If the opener has been straining too, we also handle opener repair.

Common questions

How do I know if my spring is broken?

The usual signs: the door will not lift or feels impossibly heavy, you heard a loud bang from the garage, or you can see a gap in the coiled spring above the door. If that sounds familiar, stop using the door and give us a call.

Should I replace one spring or both?

If your door has two springs and one broke, the other is the same age and usually close behind. Replacing both at once keeps the door balanced and saves you a second service call down the road.

Let’s get that door working again.
