Professional Garage Door Spring Repair Services
Garage door spring repair requires precise adjustment of the hardware, pulley, and bracket to restore balance and smooth motion. The mechanism needs proper lubrication to reduce friction and prevent damage to other components. Skylift uses trusted LiftMaster parts to ensure durability and long-term reliability for both residential and commercial garage doors. Each repair is focused on ensuring safe operation and lasting performance.

Why Garage Door Springs Fail
Springs carry most of your garage door’s weight—hundreds of pounds in constant tension. Over time, this stress leads to metal fatigue. Common causes of spring failure include:
- Daily wear from repeated use
- Rust buildup weakening the coils
- Improper spring size or installation
- Sudden temperature changes cause expansion and contraction
Once a spring breaks, the door becomes too heavy to lift and unsafe to operate.
Warning Signs of a Failing Spring
You can often spot spring problems before they become dangerous. Look for:
- A loud snapping sound from inside the garage
- The door only rises a few inches
- Gaps or separations in the coils
- Uneven or jerky door movement
- The opener is straining or humming without lifting
If you notice these signs, stop using the door and call a professional immediately.
Types of Springs We Service
Skylift Garage Doors repairs both major spring types used in residential systems:
Torsion Springs
Mounted above the door, torsion springs twist to lift the door evenly. They’re durable and ideal for modern systems.
Extension Springs
Installed along the door’s sides, these stretch and contract to assist lifting. They require safety cables to prevent damage if they break.
Our technicians are trained to identify, match, and install the correct spring for your system.
Dangers of DIY Spring Repair
Garage door springs store enormous energy. Trying to replace or adjust them without proper tools and training can lead to serious injury or system damage. Professional repair ensures safe handling and proper reinstallation so the door remains balanced and secure.

- Install properly sized, high-quality replacements
