Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of the door. When one breaks, the opener can no longer lift the door safely. Watch for these signs:
- You heard a loud bang or snap from the garage
- The door won't open, or only lifts a few inches
- The door feels extremely heavy when lifted by hand
- You can see a gap in the spring above the door
- The door moves unevenly or looks crooked
- The opener runs, but the door doesn't move
⚠ Safety First: Don't Try to Fix It Yourself
Garage door springs and cables are under high tension. Adjusting or removing them without proper training and tools can cause serious injury.
If you think a spring is broken, keep the door closed, avoid using the opener, and keep children and pets away from the door.
Then give us a call. We'll explain what's going on and the next steps.

Garage Door Spring FAQ
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
It's not safe. Without a working spring, the door can be extremely heavy and may fall unexpectedly. Keep the door closed and contact a qualified professional.
Can I use my garage door opener with a broken spring?
We don't recommend it. The opener isn't designed to lift the full weight of the door, and trying can damage the opener or other parts.
Why did my garage door spring break?
Springs wear out over time from normal use as the door opens and closes. Age, rust and lack of maintenance can also contribute.
Should both springs be replaced at the same time?
On doors with two springs, they usually wear at a similar rate. We'll look at both and explain whether replacing one or both makes sense for your door.
How much does spring replacement cost in Bakersfield?
The cost depends on your door, the type of spring and the parts needed. Call us, describe the problem, and we'll give you an estimate.
