Garage Door Spring Repair Roswell, GA
Our Roswell spring repair approach is shaped by Georgia's humid subtropical region, where a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That context decides which springs, rollers, and seals actually last on your door.
Roswell, GA is shaped by a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. We've learned which parts last in Georgia's humid subtropical region, because high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Roswell, the repairs that come up most are corroded springs and cables in the humid air, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, and swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
Garage door springs are the single most-loaded component on the entire system — a typical residential torsion spring stores enough energy to lift a 200-pound door dozens of times a day. When that spring fatigues or snaps, the door becomes unsafe to operate by hand and dangerous to operate with an opener. Our spring repair service replaces broken or worn springs, recalibrates door balance, and verifies the entire counter-weight system so the door lifts evenly and the opener does not strain.
We carry a full inventory of torsion springs, extension springs, and 30,000-cycle high-cycle springs sized for the most common residential door weights nationwide. Most homeowners are running 10,000-cycle springs from a builder install; upgrading to 30,000-cycle springs at replacement time costs only marginally more and triples expected lifespan. Every spring repair includes a full balance test, photo-eye verification, and an opener force/travel calibration.
Spring work is one of the few garage door repairs where DIY genuinely puts you at risk. The torque stored in a fully-wound torsion spring can release a winding bar at high velocity if the bar slips. Our techs are CSLB-licensed and carry liability coverage for spring work; calling a professional almost always costs less than an emergency-room visit.
Signs you need spring repair
Loud bang from the garage
A failed torsion spring makes a distinct sharp crack that homeowners often mistake for a gunshot or a transformer blowing. Inspect the spring above the door for a visible 2-inch gap between coils.
Door feels twice as heavy
If the door is hard to lift by hand or the opener strains and reverses partway up, the spring is undertensioned, worn, or broken. A balanced door should lift with one hand.
Door drops fast when released
Disconnect the opener and lift the door to chest height. If you let go and it slams down, the spring is no longer counter-weighting the panels correctly.
Opener motor whines but door barely moves
Modern openers protect themselves by reversing under load. A failing spring forces the motor into that protection mode and shortens the opener's life if not corrected.
Visible gap in the torsion spring coil
Healthy torsion springs are wound tight along their full length. Even a half-inch gap between coils indicates a snapped spring — call before attempting to use the door.
Common causes & what we fix
Cycle fatigue
Every open-and-close is one cycle. Builder-grade springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles — roughly 7–10 years of typical use. Heavy users (3+ cycles/day) see failure earlier.
Corrosion from coastal air
Homes in coastal see accelerated corrosion on uncoated springs. Salt-air pitting weakens the wire and triggers premature snaps.
Improper spring sizing
If a builder undersized the original springs for the door weight, the spring runs at higher stress per cycle and fails years early. We size replacements by measured door weight, not guess.
Missing lubrication
Torsion springs need a light coat of oil annually to prevent friction wear between coils. A dry spring fatigues 30–40% faster than a maintained one.
Door imbalance
Sagging panels or off-track travel transfer load unevenly to the springs, accelerating failure on the over-loaded side. Repair work should always include a balance check.
