Call for a free estimate (720) 999-5723

In the Cheesman Park neighborhood of Denver, Harmony Garage Door Repair Denver completed a residential garage door spring replacement on an 18×8 insulated garage door, followed by a full garage door tune-up to get everything running smooth, balanced, and quiet again.

Garage door springs do the heavy lifting. When one breaks or loses tension, the door can feel extremely heavy, lift unevenly, slam shut, or strain your opener. This is one of those repairs that’s both performance and safety related, so it’s best handled quickly.

What we repaired in Cheesman Park

For this insulated 18×8 residential door, we:

Replaced the garage door spring(s) with properly sized, high-cycle components (matched to the door weight)
Restored safe lifting performance and correct door balance
Verified smooth travel through the full open/close range

After the spring work, we confirmed the door was lifting evenly and wasn’t “fighting” the opener.

Tune-up included with the spring replacement

A spring replacement is the perfect time to tune the whole system so the new spring isn’t doing extra work. This service visit included a tune-up, such as:

Balance and safety check (door should stay put when partially open)
Hardware inspection and tightening where needed
Lubrication of moving components (where appropriate)
Track and roller evaluation
Opener strain check (making sure the system isn’t overworking)

Result: smoother operation, less noise, and reduced wear on parts.

Signs you may need garage door spring repair

If you’re in Cheesman Park (or nearby) and noticing any of these, a spring issue is a common culprit:

Door feels suddenly heavy or won’t open all the way
Door lifts unevenly or looks crooked
Loud bang from the garage (often a spring snapping)
Door closes too fast or won’t stay open
Opener hums but the door barely moves

Springs are under high tension, so this isn’t a DIY-friendly repair.

Local FAQs

How long does a garage door spring replacement take?

Most spring replacements and tune-ups can be completed the same visit, depending on door type, hardware condition, and parts needed.

Can I use my opener if the spring is broken?

It’s not recommended. A broken spring makes the opener do the heavy lifting, which can burn out the motor or damage the system.

Do insulated doors need different springs?

Often, yes. Insulated doors weigh more, so springs must be correctly sized to match the door weight for safe, balanced operation.

Should I replace one spring or both?

If your setup uses two springs, replacing both is often recommended so the system has even tension and matched cycle life (especially if they’re the same age).
