Garage Door Spring Repair
in Oak Ridge

Why Springs Are So Important

Garage door springs are designed to counterbalance hundreds of pounds of weight. Without them, your opener strains, the door becomes unstable, and safety risks rise. A functioning spring system ensures:

• Smooth, controlled door movement
• Reduced strain on cables, rollers, and the opener
• Safer operation for your family
• Longer lifespan for the entire system

When a spring fails, it impacts every other part of your garage door.

Signs You Need Spring Repair

Springs don’t last forever, and their failure usually comes with warning signs. You may notice:

• A loud snap or bang from the garage
• The door feels heavy or won’t stay open
• Gaps appear in the coils of the spring
• Jerky, uneven door movement
• An opener that struggles or fails to lift the door

If you spot these symptoms, it’s best to stop using the door and schedule service immediately.

Torsion vs. Extension Springs

There are two main types of springs used in garage doors:

• Torsion Springs – Positioned above the door, they twist to provide lifting power. They’re strong, durable, and ideal for heavier doors.
• Extension Springs – Located along the sides of the door, they expand and contract as the door moves. They wear faster and require careful handling.

Our technicians service both types, ensuring the replacement is properly matched to your door’s size and weight.
