Garage Door Garage Door Broken Spring Repair West Haven, UT
Our West Haven garage door broken spring repair calls cluster around dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
West Haven's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a high, dry climate of intense summer heat, sharp overnight cooling, and very little annual precipitation, doors here face fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, winter cold snaps that stiffen springs and grease, and intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
Across Weber County, the garage door problems we see again and again are dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
A broken garage door spring is one of the most common — and most disruptive — failures on a residential garage door. The failure itself is typically sudden: a loud bang from the garage, often mistaken for a gunshot or a transformer blowing. After the bang, the door becomes nearly impossible to lift by hand and the opener strains and refuses to move it. Cars get trapped inside, household routines disrupt, and the homeowner needs immediate service. Our broken-spring response averages under 90 minutes from call to on-site nationwide.
Every broken-spring visit follows the same protocol. Diagnose the failure (which spring, extent of any collateral damage), present a flat-rate quote (standard spring vs. 30,000-cycle upgrade), replace the spring(s), inspect cables and drums for accelerated wear (cables often need replacement alongside springs after a long service life), recalibrate door balance, and re-program the opener's travel and force limits to match the new spring tension. Most visits complete in 60–90 minutes.
We strongly recommend replacing both springs on dual-spring doors. The unbroken second spring is statistically days or weeks from failing — it has the same cycle history as the broken one. Replacing both costs less than two separate dispatches and properly re-balances the system.
Signs you need garage door broken spring repair
Loud bang from the garage
Snapped torsion spring makes a distinct crack that sounds like a gunshot. Inspect for a 2-inch gap between coils on the spring above the door.
Door won't open with the remote
Modern openers refuse to lift the door without spring assistance. Failure to lift is a strong indicator of spring failure.
Door hard or impossible to lift by hand
Disconnect the opener and try lifting. A door with a broken spring is roughly 1.5–2× as heavy to lift, often impossible solo.
Visible coil gap or hanging spring fragment
Walk into the garage and look at the spring shaft above the door. A gap between coils or visibly broken section confirms spring failure.
Opener motor strains, door barely moves
If the opener tries and the door inches up but fails to fully open, the spring has either snapped or lost critical tension.
Common causes & what we fix
Cycle fatigue end-of-life
Builder-grade springs hit their cycle rating around 7–10 years of typical use. Failure is sudden but predictable on a curve.
Single-spring on heavy door
Single-spring installs on doors that should have dual springs see faster fatigue. Common in older builder installs.
Coastal corrosion
Salt-air pitting weakens uncoated springs. Coastal homes can see springs fail at 60% of cycle rating.
Missing maintenance
Dry, un-lubricated springs fatigue faster. Annual lubrication during a tune-up materially extends life.
Cold weather brittleness
Cold mornings can be the trigger for a fatigued spring to snap. The failure was coming anyway; cold tipped it over.
