You may be dealing with a broken spring — one of the most common and dangerous issues affecting garage doors. Springs are essential for lifting and lowering your door smoothly and safely. When they break, your door may become unbalanced, immobile, or even hazardous.
At Kozmo Garage Doors, we provide fast, affordable, and expert spring repair services across the area. With over 20 years of experience and top-quality, USA-made parts, our skilled technicians restore your garage door’s proper function — often with same-day service.
Your garage door springs do most of the heavy lifting — and when they fail, your system can’t function properly. Knowing the warning signs can help you avoid bigger issues or safety risks.
Look out for these symptoms:
Reliable, safe, and efficient Garage Door solutions you trust.
Garage door springs play a critical role in lifting and lowering your door safely — but they’re also under immense tension every time you open or close the door. Over time, even the strongest springs wear out or fail, often without warning. Understanding why garage door springs break can help you recognize early signs and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Most standard garage door springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles — that’s one open and close per cycle. For an active household, that can mean reaching the limit in just 7–10 years. As springs age, they weaken, lose tension, and become more prone to sudden snapping.
Humid, coastal climate is tough on metal components. Moisture in the air can lead to rust buildup on the springs, which weakens their structure and accelerates wear. Rust also increases friction between the coils, causing premature failure if not addressed.
Garage door springs need regular lubrication and inspection to function properly. Without basic maintenance, they’re more likely to wear unevenly, stretch improperly, or snap unexpectedly — often at the worst possible time.
If your garage door has mismatched or incorrectly sized springs, the door can become unbalanced. This puts additional stress on the opener, rollers, and other components, leading to faster spring fatigue and eventual breakage.
Summers are hot and humid, but cold snaps can still happen — especially in northern parts of the state. These temperature swings cause metal springs to expand and contract repeatedly, which can lead to brittleness and cracking over time.
At Kozmo Garage Doors, we believe spring repair shouldn’t be stressful or confusing. From the moment you call to the final walkthrough, our process is designed to be fast, honest, and hassle-free — with quality you can trust.
1. Inspection & DiagnosisOur technician starts with a full inspection of your garage door system — including springs, cables, tracks, rollers, and opener. We identify the exact cause of the issue and check for any related wear or safety concerns.
2. Transparent PricingBefore any work begins, we walk you through exactly what needs to be done and why. You’ll receive a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
3. Same-Day Spring ReplacementOur service vehicles are stocked with high-quality, USA-made torsion and extension springs. In most cases, we can replace your broken springs on the spot — getting your door back to smooth operation the same day.
4. Safety & Balance TestingOnce the new springs are installed, we test your door’s balance, spring tension, and overall movement. We also check the opener’s response and ensure safety sensors are aligned and working properly.
5. Cleanup & Maintenance TipsWe leave your garage cleaner than we found it and dispose of all old parts. Before we go, we’ll walk you through what was repaired and share simple tips to help keep your springs in great shape.
If your door feels heavy, won’t open, slams shut, or you hear a loud snap from the garage, your spring may be broken. You may also see a visible gap in the torsion spring coil.
