Garage Door Torsion Spring Replacement in Glendale, CA
A torsion spring sits horizontally on a metal shaft above your garage door and stores the mechanical energy that lifts the door's weight. When it breaks, the door usually won't move at all, or it opens a few inches and stops. This is not a DIY repair — a wound torsion spring holds serious stored energy and will injure you if released incorrectly. We replace the spring, re-tension it to match your door's weight, and check every related component before we leave.

When to Call
When You Need Garage Door Torsion Spring Replacement
- You heard a loud bang from the garage early morning and the door won't lift.

- You can see a visible gap in the coil of the spring above your door.
- Your door feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually by hand.
How It Works
Our Process for Garage Door Torsion Spring Replacement
- 1
Door Weight and Spring Sizing
We measure your door's height, weight, and track radius to select a spring with the correct wire size and length.
- 2
Safe Removal of Broken Spring
Broken springs still hold residual tension. We unwind and remove them using proper winding bars, not improvised tools.
- 3
Install and Wind New Spring
The new spring gets installed on the shaft and wound to the exact turn count your door weight requires.
- 4
Balance and Hardware Check
We test door balance by hand, verify cables are seated on the drums, and check cable condition before calling it done.
Glendale Context
Why this matters in Glendale
Glendale's temperature swings between hot summers and cooler winter nights accelerate metal fatigue in torsion springs. Many homes in the Montrose and La Crescenta areas see springs fail after ten to twelve years for exactly this reason.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Price depends on spring size, whether you have a single or double spring setup, and the condition of the drums and cables. A door that's been running on one broken spring often shows cable wear we address at the same visit.
