Spring Replacement Process Bethpage

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess what’s broken. Springs don’t always fail the same way, and the repair approach depends on whether you have torsion springs or extension springs. Next, we safely release the tension from the old springs. This is the dangerous part that sends people to the hospital when they try to do it themselves. Our technicians have the proper tools and training to handle this safely. Then we install the new springs, making sure they’re properly balanced for your specific door weight. We test everything multiple times before we leave, so you know it’s working correctly and safely.

Garage Door Springs Bethpage NY

What's Included in Every Service Call

Every spring repair comes with a complete safety inspection of your entire garage door system. We check the cables, rollers, tracks, and opener to make sure everything is working together properly. In Bethpage’s climate, we see specific issues that affect garage door springs. The humidity from being close to both the north and south shores can cause rust. The temperature swings from summer heat to winter cold put extra stress on metal components. We stock high-cycle springs that last longer than the standard ones most companies use. While typical springs last 7-9 years, ours are rated for significantly more cycles, which means fewer service calls for you down the road.

How do I know if my garage door springs are broken?

The most obvious sign is when your garage door won’t open at all, or it opens just a few inches and stops. You might also notice the door feels much heavier when you try to lift it manually. Other signs include the door closing too fast, making loud noises during operation, or hanging crooked when it’s partially open. If you have torsion springs above your door, you might actually see a gap in the spring where it snapped. Never try to force a door open when you suspect broken springs. The door could fall suddenly and cause serious injury or property damage.

Can I replace garage door springs myself?

We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension – enough to seriously injure or kill someone if they snap during improper handling. Professional technicians use specialized tools and safety equipment that aren’t available to homeowners. We also know exactly how to measure and install springs for your specific door weight and size. The money you might save doing it yourself isn’t worth the risk to your safety or your family’s safety. Plus, improperly installed springs can damage your garage door opener and other components, leading to more expensive repairs later.

How long do garage door springs typically last?

Most garage door springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, which translates to 7-9 years for the average family. One cycle means opening and closing the door once. However, spring life depends on several factors. Heavy doors require stronger springs that may not last as long. Extreme temperature changes, like we get here on Long Island, can shorten spring life. Lack of maintenance, especially lubrication, also reduces lifespan. We use higher-rated springs that last significantly longer than standard ones. It costs a little more upfront, but you’ll save money over time with fewer replacements needed.

Should I replace both springs even if only one is broken?

Yes, absolutely. When one spring breaks, the other is usually close to failing too since they’ve both been under the same stress for the same amount of time. Replacing just one spring creates an imbalanced door that puts extra strain on your garage door opener and other components. The door won’t open and close smoothly, and you’ll likely face another service call soon. Most companies, including us, offer better pricing when you replace both springs during the same visit. It’s more cost-effective and ensures your door operates properly.

Do you offer emergency garage spring repair service?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Bethpage and the surrounding Long Island area. We understand that broken garage door springs don’t wait for convenient times. If your car is stuck in the garage and you need to get to work, or if your door won’t close and your home security is compromised, we prioritize these calls. Most emergency repairs can be completed the same day. Emergency service does carry additional charges due to after-hours work, but we’re always upfront about pricing before we start any work.

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs are mounted above your garage door opening on a metal rod. They twist to create the force needed to lift the door. These are more common on newer garage doors and generally last longer. Extension springs are located along the sides of your door, above the horizontal tracks. They stretch and contract to help lift the door. These are typically found on older garage door systems. Torsion springs are generally safer and more durable, but they’re also more expensive to replace. The type of springs you have determines the repair approach and cost, which is why we always inspect your system before providing a quote.
