When your garage door won’t open, you need garage spring repair that works the first time—no waiting, no excuses.
Your morning routine shouldn’t include wrestling with a garage door that refuses to budge. When garage springs break, they don’t just inconvenience you—they can trap your car and leave your home vulnerable.
Professional garage spring repair gets you back to normal fast. No more manually lifting a 200-pound door or worrying about safety hazards. You’ll have a smoothly operating garage door that opens reliably every time you need it, whether you’re rushing to work or coming home late.
The difference between a quick fix and lasting repair comes down to using the right springs and proper installation. Quality torsion springs can handle 15,000 to 20,000 cycles, while cheaper alternatives fail within a few years.
Since 1945, we’ve been the name Hicksville homeowners trust when their garage springs break. What started with Maurice Heidelberg has grown into nearly eight decades of reliable service throughout Nassau County.
Most of our business comes from word-of-mouth referrals. That doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when you consistently show up on time, fix the problem correctly, and charge a fair price. When your neighbors recommend the same company their parents used, you know you’re dealing with proven expertise.
Hicksville’s post-war housing boom means many homes have garage doors from the same era, and we’ve been servicing them since day one. We understand the specific challenges of older garage systems and know how to upgrade them safely without breaking the bank.
When you call for garage spring repair, the process starts with a thorough inspection to identify the exact problem. Not every garage door issue is a broken spring—sometimes it’s cables, tracks, or opener problems that create similar symptoms.
Once our technician confirms spring failure, we’ll measure your door’s weight and dimensions to select the correct replacement springs. Torsion springs require precise calculations based on door weight, height, and track radius. Using the wrong spring creates dangerous imbalances that can damage your opener or cause injury.
The actual replacement involves safely releasing tension from the broken spring, removing it from the torsion bar, and installing the new spring with proper tension adjustment. This isn’t a DIY job—garage springs store enough energy to cause serious injury or death if handled incorrectly.
After installation, we test the door balance and opener function to ensure everything works smoothly. A properly balanced door should stay in place when manually lifted halfway and require minimal effort from your garage door opener.

Garage spring repair in Hicksville often reveals other issues that need attention. Broken springs put extra stress on cables, rollers, and tracks. Smart homeowners address these problems during the same service call to prevent future breakdowns.
Hicksville’s coastal proximity means garage door components face salt air and humidity that accelerate rust and corrosion.

If you’re dealing with an older garage door system common in Hicksville’s 1940s-60s housing stock, we might recommend upgrades to modern safety features. These improvements protect your family and bring your garage door up to current safety standards.
