Garage door springs operate under extreme tension and should never be adjusted or replaced without the correct tools and training. Bigfoot Garage Doors provides safe, dependable repairs using springs properly matched to your door’s size and weight.
Garage door springs support most of the door’s weight. When a spring breaks or begins to fail, the door may become extremely heavy, uneven, or impossible to operate.
Common warning signs include:
Stop operating the garage door if you notice these symptoms. Continued use may damage the opener, cables, tracks, or panels and create a serious safety risk.
Torsion and extension springs store enough force to lift a heavy garage door repeatedly. Attempting to remove, wind, or adjust a spring without the correct equipment can cause severe injury or property damage.
Professional spring repair helps:
Our technicians test the complete door system after every spring replacement to confirm safe and reliable operation.
Torsion springs are mounted on a metal shaft above the garage door opening. They use controlled twisting force to lift and lower the door.
Torsion systems generally provide smoother movement, improved balance, and longer service life. They are commonly found on modern residential and commercial garage doors.
Extension springs run alongside the horizontal tracks and stretch as the garage door closes. They are more common on older or lighter garage door systems.
Extension springs should be installed with safety cables to help contain the spring if it breaks. We inspect and replace both the springs and safety cables when necessary.
Bigfoot Garage Doors services both spring types and can recommend an appropriate conversion or upgrade when it offers better safety or long-term value.
We replace broken torsion springs with components selected for the door’s weight, dimensions, and operating requirements.
Extension springs are typically replaced in matched pairs and installed with proper safety cables.
When a two-spring system has one broken spring, replacing both is often recommended because both springs have experienced the same amount of use.
We adjust spring tension so the door opens smoothly, remains stable at mid-height, and does not place unnecessary strain on the opener.
A spring failure may cause cables to loosen, unwind, or become damaged. We inspect the cables, drums, bearings, and related hardware before returning the door to service.
High-cycle springs are available for households and businesses that operate their garage doors frequently. These springs are designed to provide a longer service life than standard options.
A broken spring can trap your vehicle inside the garage or leave the door too heavy to close safely. It may also cause the door to become crooked, disconnected, or unstable.

Our team focuses on restoring safe operation while protecting the long-term performance of your complete garage door system.
Redmond’s freezing winter mornings, strong sunlight, dust, and wide temperature changes can place additional stress on metal garage door components.
Springs naturally weaken after thousands of opening and closing cycles, and cold temperatures may expose an already worn spring. Routine lubrication, balance testing, and prompt repairs can help reduce unexpected failures and protect other system components.
Common signs include a loud bang, a door that will not open, a visible gap in the spring, loose cables, or a door that suddenly feels extremely heavy.
It is not recommended. Without proper spring tension, the full weight of the door is unsupported. Attempting to lift it may cause injury, and using the opener may damage the motor or other components.
On a two-spring system, replacing both springs is often the best choice. Both springs usually have the same cycle history, meaning the second spring may also be nearing failure.
Standard residential springs are commonly designed for approximately 10,000 operating cycles. Actual lifespan depends on door use, spring quality, installation, maintenance, and environmental conditions.
High-cycle springs are designed to withstand more opening and closing cycles than standard springs. They can be a worthwhile upgrade for frequently used residential doors and commercial properties.
Most spring replacements can be completed during one service visit. The exact time depends on the spring system, door condition, and whether additional components require repair.
Garage door spring replacement is not considered a safe DIY repair. Springs are under significant tension and require specialized tools, measurements, and procedures.
