Garage Door Spring Repair
Springs do the heavy lifting on a garage door — they counterbalance its weight so the door and opener move easily. When a spring breaks, the door often becomes too heavy to lift and the opener can't raise it. TruePro repairs and replaces garage door springs across Los Angeles County and Ventura County.
Signs of a broken or worn spring
- A loud bang from the garage, then a door that won't open
- A visible gap in the coil of a torsion spring
- The door feels extremely heavy or slams shut
- The opener strains, then stops, when trying to lift
- The door opens a few inches and stops

FAQ
Common questions
Why replace both springs if only one broke?
On a two-spring door the springs wear at a similar rate, so when one breaks the other is usually near the end of its life. Replacing both is a common approach that many homeowners choose to avoid a second failure soon after.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
It isn't recommended. Springs store a large amount of energy under tension and can cause serious injury if handled without the right tools and training. This is a job for a professional.
