Garage door springs are one of the most important — and most dangerous — parts of your garage door. But how do you know when it’s time to replace them?
A few common signs you may need a spring replacement can be:
✅ The door feels extremely heavy when lifting manually
✅ Your garage door won’t open or only opens a few inches
✅ The door opens unevenly or jerks while moving
✅ Your door is 7–10+ years old and has never had spring replacement
Since springs are under extreme tension, repairs and adjustments should always be handled by a trained garage door technician. If you have any more garage door related questions, check out our FAQ page below
