Springs carry the entire weight of your garage door, which is why a broken one isn't just an annoyance — it makes the door genuinely unsafe to operate. Force an opener to lift a door with a snapped torsion spring and it can come crashing down without any warning at all.
IronGate Garage Services installs both torsion and extension springs throughout Smithville, IN, always matching wire diameter, coil length, and winding direction to your door's exact weight. A spring that's slightly off might lift the door fine today and fail within months, so we measure carefully rather than guess.
How the Job Gets Done
Weight and wire calculation
We measure the door's total weight and figure out the wire gauge needed so the new spring lifts smoothly, without under- or over-tensioning.
Old spring removal
The broken spring, along with any worn cable or drum nearby, comes out using calibrated winding bars for safety.
New spring installation
The replacement gets wound to the manufacturer's specified turn count and secured at the correct tension.
Balance verification
We manually test the door at the halfway point to confirm it holds position, which tells us the tension is properly balanced.
What You Can Expect
Correctly sized springs
We never install a one-size-fits-all spring. Wire gauge and coil length are calculated specifically for your door.
Both spring types covered
Whether your setup uses a single torsion bar or a pair of side extension springs, our technicians work on either system.
Cables checked too
Cables tied into the spring system get inspected for fraying, since they're usually the next thing to fail.
Backed by warranty
Every replacement spring comes with a manufacturer warranty covering premature failure.
Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement Questions Answered
What actually caused my spring to break?
Springs are rated for a certain number of open-and-close cycles, usually several thousand. Age, humidity, and frequent daily use all wear that lifespan down faster, so a break after years of normal use is expected wear, not necessarily a defective part.
Can I safely lift the door myself if the spring is broken?
No. Without spring tension, a door can weigh well over 100 pounds and may drop suddenly without warning. Leave the door shut and call 1 (833) 652-7571 rather than trying to lift it by hand.
If only one spring broke, do both need to be replaced?
If your door runs on two torsion springs, we generally suggest replacing them as a pair, since they wear down at a similar rate and mismatched springs put uneven strain on the opener.
