Why Garage Door Springs Break

Garage door springs don’t last forever. They’re rated by cycle life — one cycle equals one full open and close. Most standard torsion springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles, which translates to roughly 7–10 years of normal use for the average Denver household.

But several factors can shorten that lifespan:

Denver’s temperature swings. Metal expands and contracts with temperature changes. Our Front Range climate — where winter mornings can dip below zero and afternoons climb into the 50s — puts extra stress on spring steel over time.
Rust and corrosion. Moisture, road salt tracked into garages, and lack of lubrication accelerate wear.
Improper installation. Springs that aren’t wound to the correct tension or don’t match your door’s weight will fail prematurely.
Age and fatigue. Even well-maintained springs eventually reach the end of their cycle life. The metal fatigues, micro-fractures develop, and one day the spring simply snaps.

Understanding why springs fail helps you know what to look for — and when to call a professional before a minor issue becomes an emergency.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Repair and Replace

Not all garage door springs are the same. The type your door uses depends on its size, weight, and design. Harmony Garage Door Repair Denver works with all major spring systems:

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted on a metal shaft above the garage door opening. They use torque — twisting force — to lift the door. Most modern residential garage doors in Denver use torsion springs because they provide smoother, more controlled operation and tend to last longer than extension springs.

We repair and replace single-spring and dual-spring torsion systems, including high-cycle springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles for homeowners who want a longer-lasting solution.

Extension Springs

Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. They stretch and contract to provide lifting force. These are common in older Denver homes and on lighter single-car garage doors.

Extension springs should always have safety cables running through them. If yours don’t, we’ll install them during the repair — a broken extension spring without a safety cable is a serious hazard.

TorqueMaster Springs

Some Wayne Dalton garage doors use an enclosed TorqueMaster spring system. These require specialized tools and knowledge to replace safely. Our technicians are experienced with TorqueMaster systems and carry the necessary parts.

Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair

Not sure if your springs are the problem? Here are the most common signs Denver homeowners notice:

Your garage door won’t open. This is the most obvious sign. If you press your opener and the motor runs but the door barely lifts, a broken spring is the most likely cause.

You heard a loud bang from the garage. A breaking torsion spring releases a tremendous amount of stored energy. The sound is often described as a gunshot or a car backfiring. If you heard this and your door won’t open, a spring has almost certainly snapped.

The door is crooked or uneven. If one spring breaks on a two-spring system, the door may lift unevenly or appear crooked. Don’t try to operate the door in this condition — it puts dangerous stress on the remaining spring and the opener.

The door feels extremely heavy. Your springs do the heavy lifting — literally. A standard two-car garage door weighs 150 to 250 pounds. Without functioning springs, trying to lift it manually is difficult and dangerous.

Visible gap in the spring. Look at the spring above your garage door. If you can see a gap where the coils have separated, the spring is broken and needs replacement.

If you notice any of these signs, do not attempt to repair the spring yourself. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause severe injury. Call a professional at (720) 999-5723 for a free estimate.

Garage Door Spring Repair Cost in Denver

One of the most common questions we get is: “How much does it cost to replace a garage door spring in Denver?”

At Harmony Garage Door Repair Denver, our garage door spring repair starts at $159. The final cost depends on a few factors:

Type of spring — Torsion springs typically cost more than extension springs due to the complexity of the replacement.
Number of springs — If your door uses two torsion springs, we strongly recommend replacing both at the same time, even if only one has broken. The second spring is the same age and will likely fail soon.
Spring cycle rating — Standard 10,000-cycle springs are the most affordable option. High-cycle springs (25,000–50,000 cycles) cost more upfront but last significantly longer, making them a smart investment.
Door size and weight — Heavier doors require larger, stronger springs.

We provide a complete quote on-site before starting any work. There’s no service call fee when you move forward with the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Spring Repair in Denver

How long does a garage door spring repair take?

Most garage door spring replacements are completed in 45 minutes to one hour. If both springs need replacement or additional components like cables or rollers need attention, the job may take slightly longer. Our technicians come prepared with common spring sizes on their trucks, so there’s rarely a need for a return visit.

Can I repair a garage door spring myself?

We strongly advise against it. Garage door springs — especially torsion springs — are under extreme tension. An improperly handled spring can cause severe injury or even death. Professional technicians have the tools, training, and experience to replace springs safely. This is one repair that’s truly not worth the risk of a DIY approach.

Should I replace one spring or both?

If your garage door has two torsion springs and one breaks, we recommend replacing both at the same time. The springs were installed together and have the same number of cycles on them. The second spring is likely close to failure as well. Replacing both at once saves you the cost of a second service call and ensures balanced operation.

How long do garage door springs last in Denver?

Standard torsion springs typically last 7 to 10 years with normal use — roughly 10,000 cycles. Denver’s wide temperature swings can shorten this somewhat. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles can last 15 to 20 years or more and are a worthwhile upgrade for many homeowners.

Is a broken garage door spring an emergency?

It depends on your situation. If your car is trapped inside the garage and you need it to get to work or handle essential errands, it’s absolutely an emergency. Harmony Garage Door Repair Denver offers same-day emergency service so you’re never stuck for long. Call us and we’ll get a technician out as quickly as possible.

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

The most common signs include a loud bang from the garage, a door that won’t open or feels extremely heavy when lifted manually, a visible gap in the torsion spring coils, or a door that opens crookedly. If you notice any of these, avoid operating the door and call for professional repair.

What’s the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs mount on a shaft above the door and use twisting force to lift it. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side and stretch to provide lifting force. Torsion springs are more common in newer installations, offer smoother operation, and generally have a longer lifespan.

Does Harmony Garage Door Repair Denver offer a warranty?

Yes. Every garage door spring repair includes a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty length depends on the type of spring installed. Ask your technician for full warranty details during your service appointment.

Do you offer emergency garage door spring repair on weekends?

Yes. Garage door springs don’t wait for business hours to break, and neither do we. Harmony Garage Door Repair Denver offers same-day emergency service seven days a week, including evenings and weekends.

How much does garage door spring repair cost in Denver?

Our garage door spring repair starts at $159, which includes a standard spring, professional installation, and a complimentary safety inspection. Final pricing depends on the spring type, number of springs, and your specific door. We always provide an upfront quote before beginning work.
