Best Practices for Spring Repair

We all know that life's problems often arise at the most inconvenient times. The last thing you want is to have your car trapped in the garage when you need it most—especially when it's only been a few months, weeks, or even days since your last garage door repair.

That's why Rapid Garage Doorz adheres to industry best practices to ensure we make the best recommendation for homeowners each time we enter a garage. These practices can save you time and money in the long run, and we always prioritize your convenience and safety.

The first step in repairing or replacing your garage door springs is determining the type of spring system you have. There are two main types: Torsion Springs and Extension Springs. Rapid Garage Doorz's professionally trained technicians are fully equipped to handle both torsion and extension spring systems.

Best Practice #1 - Replacing Both Springs

Most garage doors have two springs installed simultaneously, so when one breaks, the second spring’s lifespan is likely close to its end as well. To prevent further inconvenience, unsafe garage door operations, and potential damage to your garage door opener, we typically recommend replacing both springs. It's like having your car’s tires replaced; if one blows out, it’s better to replace both for safety and efficiency. Just as you maintain high-value equipment like your car, your garage door should be properly maintained to avoid future issues.

Best Practice #2 - Using The Right Springs

Garage doors come in various weights and sizes, so it's essential to install the correct springs to properly balance the door. If the wrong spring is used, it can damage the entire system and force the garage door opener to work harder than it was designed to, which can lead to a quick breakdown. Installing the right springs is crucial, and this is why our technicians ensure that the appropriate springs are installed for your door’s weight and perform a balance test to verify the installation.

Best Practice #3 - Safety Inspection

With every spring repair, Rapid Garage Doorz offers a free safety inspection to ensure that all hardware and moving parts of your door are functioning properly and meet safety standards. Since the hardware is often installed along with the springs, it’s possible that other mechanical parts could be worn or in an unsafe condition. Spring failure may be a sign of a larger issue with your door. This is why we provide a comprehensive safety inspection to maintain a safe environment for our customers.

How Much Does Spring Repair Cost?

The cost of replacing garage door springs depends on the size, weight, and type of springs (torsion or extension). We offer pricing based on the industry standard but upgrade to high-cycle powder-coated springs for superior durability. With over 30 types of springs available, we recommend a professional inspection for an accurate quote, free of charge.

The lifespan of garage door springs varies based on usage and the quality of the spring. On average, standard springs last between 7,000–10,000 cycles. Our high-quality springs can last up to 30,000 cycles, offering more durability and reliability.

We recommend leaving spring replacement to professionals. Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if not handled properly. A trained technician can safely replace the springs and ensure the system is properly balanced.

Common signs include difficulty opening or closing the door, the door being off balance, or hearing loud noises when the door operates. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call for an inspection.
