If your garage door suddenly won’t lift — or it opens a few inches and stops — a broken spring is almost always the cause. Springs do the heavy lifting on a garage door, and when one snaps you’ll often hear a loud bang like a firecracker. We replace broken torsion and extension springs across Tooele County, usually the same day. Call (801) 814-1053.
Signs Your Spring Is Broken
- The door won’t open, or opens a few inches then stops.
- You heard a loud bang from the garage recently.
- There’s a visible gap in the tightly-wound spring above the door.
- The door feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it by hand.
- The opener strains, hums, or the top section bends when it tries to lift.
Why You Shouldn’t DIY a Spring
Garage door springs are wound under enormous tension — enough to break bones or worse if they release unexpectedly. It’s one of the most common causes of serious home-repair injuries. We carry the correct winding bars, the right spring sizes for both older and newer Tooele-area doors, and the training to swap them safely in about an hour. We also replace springs in pairs when it makes sense, so you’re not back to square one a month later when the second one goes.
What It Costs
Most torsion spring replacements in Tooele run $150–$350, depending on the spring size and how heavy your door is. You get the exact price before we start — no surprises, and the service-call fee is waived when you approve the repair.
