5 Highlights of Garage Door Spring Repair
Mor Garage Doors repairs torsion and extension spring systems. Torsion springs sit on a shaft above the door; extension springs run alongside the horizontal tracks. We identify the installed system, inspect connected hardware, and match replacement parts to the door’s weight and configuration.
-
-
Correct spring selection
Our technicians match replacement springs to the door’s weight, height, track configuration, and expected cycle life. Proper sizing supports balanced operation.
-
Broken spring replacement
We remove the damaged garage spring and install compatible parts using professional winding bars, clamps, and tensioning procedures.
-
Complete balance testing
We disconnect the opener and test the door manually. A balanced garage door should remain near the halfway position without rising or dropping sharply.

Spring failure can strain cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, and garage door openers. We check these components and explain any repairs before starting extra work.

View reviews on GoogleWhy Choose Our Garage Door Spring Repair
Garage door spring repair is demanding work that requires training, accurate measurements, and controlled handling of high tension components.
Mor Garage Doors sends qualified technicians who understand torsion spring systems, extension springs, cable drums, centre bearings, end bearing plates, and spring anchor brackets. We identify the cause of failure instead of replacing parts without a full inspection. This approach helps prevent recurring problems caused by incorrect spring size, poor balance, damaged cables, or binding tracks.
We explain the proposed garage door spring replacement before work begins. You’ll receive clear information about the spring type, related parts, labour, and expected operation. If a double spring system has one broken spring, we may recommend replacing both springs because they often share similar age and cycle wear. We base that recommendation on the door system and measured condition.
Our professional spring repair includes tension adjustment, fastener checks, lubrication at suitable contact points, and manual balance testing. We also reconnect and test the garage door opener after confirming smooth door travel.
Mor Garage Doors uses compatible, quality parts for each repair. We keep the work area organized, secure the door during service, and verify the completed installation. Our workmanship support applies to the approved repair scope and appears clearly on your service documentation.
Know the warning signs
Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair
Garage door spring repair is usually needed when the door becomes heavy, uneven, noisy, or unable to open.
A snapped garage spring removes much of the lifting force required to move the door. The opener may hum, stop, or lift the door only several centimetres. Don’t keep pressing the opener button because the extra load can damage the motor or drive system.
A garage door torsion spring sits on a shaft above the door. When it breaks, the spring often separates and leaves a visible gap between the coils. Broken garage door spring repair requires controlled removal and correct winding of the replacement spring.
Springs support most of the garage door’s weight. A heavy door can indicate a broken spring, lost spring tension, or incorrect spring sizing. Stop manual operation if you can’t control the door safely.
A crooked door may have a failed extension spring, damaged lifting cable, misaligned drum, or uneven torsion spring tension. Continued operation can pull rollers from the tracks and bend hardware. Professional garage spring repair identifies the affected components before the door jams.
Rust, gaps, deformation, squeaking, and inconsistent movement can indicate spring wear. Cold Canadian temperatures can also expose existing metal fatigue. Garage door spring maintenance can identify wear before the spring snaps, though maintenance can’t restore a fatigued or cracked spring.

Our Garage Door Spring Repair Process
Garage door spring repair is completed through a controlled process that protects the door, hardware, and surrounding work area.
-
01
Inspect the complete door system
We examine the garage door spring, shaft, cables, drums, bearings, tracks, rollers, hinges, opener, and safety controls. We also confirm the door’s dimensions and construction.
-
02
Secure the garage door
The technician disconnects electrical operation when required and clamps the door to prevent unexpected movement. This step controls the stored tension within the spring system.
-
03
Measure and select parts
We record the spring’s wire size, inside diameter, length, wind direction, and configuration. Door weight measurements may help verify the correct garage spring replacement.
-
04
Remove damaged components
We release remaining tension with proper winding bars and remove the broken spring. The technician also replaces approved cables, bearings, or fasteners when wear affects safe operation.
-
05
Install and tension the spring
We fit the replacement, secure the cones, wind the spring to the calculated tension, and align the cable drums. Each component must sit correctly before testing begins.
-
06
Balance and test the door
We operate the garage door manually, adjust spring tension when needed, reconnect the opener, and complete several test cycles. You’ll receive maintenance guidance and details about the completed repair.
Compatible systems
Garage door brands we service
Garage door spring repair is supported with compatible parts for many established garage door brands.
Brand compatibility depends on the door model, weight, track layout, shaft design, and existing hardware. We select garage door torsion springs and related parts by technical specifications rather than appearance alone. Replacement components may include springs, winding cones, stationary cones, centre bearings, end bearings, lift cables, drums, and mounting fasteners.
FAQs About Garage Door Spring Repair
Garage door spring repair is a professional service that restores the lifting force and balance required for safe door movement.
Garage door spring repair involves inspecting, removing, replacing, and tensioning a failed or worn spring. The service also includes balance testing and checking cables, drums, bearings, tracks, and opener operation.
Call when the door won’t open, feels heavy, hangs unevenly, or shows a gap in the torsion spring. Stop using the opener if the garage door has a broken spring.
Garage springs break from cycle wear, corrosion, incorrect sizing, poor adjustment, temperature changes, or damaged door hardware. Frequent daily operation can shorten the service life of a standard spring.
A technician secures the door, measures the spring system, releases remaining tension, installs a compatible spring, and applies calculated tension. The technician then checks balance and tests the opener.
You shouldn’t operate it without professional help. The door may weigh more than expected, drop suddenly, damage the opener, or leave the tracks.
Not always. A paired system may benefit from replacing both because the springs often have matching age and wear. Mor Garage Doors inspects the complete system and recommends the most suitable repair.

If the spring is intact, a heavy door may need balancing. Uneven travel can involve lift cables; an opener that still struggles after the door is balanced may need separate service.
