About Spring Replacement

A snapped torsion spring is the single most common garage door failure — and one of the most dangerous to attempt yourself. Our licensed technicians replace torsion and extension springs across Melbourne the same day, with safety-rated parts and a 12-month parts warranty.

Signs You Need Spring Replacement

  • You heard a loud bang from the garage and the door now won't open
  • The door feels extremely heavy when lifted by hand
  • There is a visible gap or coil separation in the spring above the door
  • The opener motor strains, hums, or only lifts the door 10–20cm
  • The door drops quickly when released, or sits crooked when half-open
  • Springs look rusted, stretched out of shape, or one side has snapped

Our Process

  1. Step 1. Same-day callout — we prioritise spring snaps so you're not stuck with a closed garage
  2. Step 2. Spring measurement — wire gauge, length and inside diameter calculated on site
  3. Step 3. Pair replacement — we replace both springs together for balanced, longer life
  4. Step 4. Balance & safety test — door retensioned, opener force adjusted, sensors retested

What's Included

  • Torsion spring replacement and re-tensioning
  • Extension spring replacement for lighter doors
  • High-cycle spring upgrades for longer lifespan
  • Spring balance adjustments and fine-tuning
  • Safety cable inspection and installation
  • Full system assessment to prevent future failures
  • All labour and parts included in quote
  • Post-repair safety and balance testing

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

Common signs include the door not opening, a loud bang from the garage, visible gap in the spring, or the door feeling extremely heavy when lifted manually.

Is it dangerous to replace garage door springs myself?

Yes — garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Always use a licensed professional for spring replacement.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs last around 10,000 cycles (7–10 years). We offer high-cycle upgrades that can last 25,000+ cycles.

Can you replace just one spring?

We recommend replacing both springs at the same time for balanced operation. If one has failed, the other is likely near end of life too.

How long does a spring replacement take?

Most spring replacements are completed within 45–90 minutes once we're on site.
