How dangerous is it to repair garage door springs myself?

Extremely dangerous. Garage door springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension and can cause severe injury or death if handled improperly. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports thousands of garage door injuries annually, many involving springs. When a spring breaks, it can snap like a whip, sending metal fragments flying through your garage. DIY attempts often result in fractured bones, lacerations, or worse. Even professional technicians use specialized tools and safety equipment. The few hundred dollars you might save on DIY repair isn’t worth risking your life or a lifetime of medical bills. Professional repair is the only safe option.
Most garage door springs last 7-9 years or about 10,000 cycles of opening and closing. In Franklin Square’s humid Long Island climate, springs may wear out slightly faster due to moisture exposure. If you use your garage door 4 times daily, you’re looking at roughly 1,460 cycles per year. Heavy doors or frequent use can shorten spring life. Signs of wear include squeaking, uneven door movement, or visible rust and corrosion. Higher-quality springs can last 25,000 cycles or more, making them a smart investment for busy households. Regular maintenance and lubrication can extend any spring’s lifespan significantly.
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above your garage door opening and coil around a metal rod. They’re generally safer because they stay contained when they break, and they provide smoother door operation. Extension springs stretch along your garage door tracks on either side. They’re less expensive but more dangerous when they fail because they can become projectiles. Safety cables should always be installed with extension springs. Most modern garage doors use torsion springs, especially heavier doors. Extension springs are typically found on older or lighter doors. Both require professional installation and replacement due to the extreme forces involved.
Professional garage door spring replacement typically costs between $150-350 for most residential doors in Franklin Square. The exact price depends on your door’s size, weight, and the type of springs needed. Double-door garages usually need two springs replaced at once, which can increase the total cost. However, replacing both springs together often costs less than two separate service calls and ensures balanced operation. First-time customers get a 10% discount, and the investment pays for itself in safety and reliability. Emergency or after-hours service may cost more, but it’s worth it when you’re stuck with a non-functioning door.
While it’s technically possible to replace just one spring, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time. When one spring breaks, the other has endured the same wear and is likely to fail soon. Replacing both springs ensures balanced door operation and prevents the inconvenience and expense of another service call in a few weeks or months. It also means both springs will have the same tension and lifespan. For double-door garages, balanced springs are especially important for smooth operation and to prevent premature opener wear. The small additional cost of replacing both springs is usually worth the long-term benefits.
Yes, we offer emergency garage door spring repair for Franklin Square residents. Broken springs often happen at the worst possible times, leaving you trapped in your garage or unable to secure your home. Same-day service is typically available for spring repairs because we understand how disruptive a broken garage door can be to your daily routine. Emergency service may have additional charges, but getting your door working safely is worth it. For true emergencies where safety is a concern, we prioritize these calls. However, if your door is stuck open, avoid trying to force it closed manually as this can be dangerous with broken springs.
