Professional garage spring repair that gets your door working safely—usually the same day you call.
A broken garage spring doesn’t just stop your door—it stops your life. Your car’s stuck, your schedule’s ruined, and you’re dealing with a 200-pound safety hazard that won’t budge.
We fix broken springs the right way: safe removal, proper sizing, professional installation, and complete system testing. Your door opens smoothly tomorrow morning, and you don’t have to worry about it failing again anytime soon.
The right springs, properly balanced, protect your expensive opener from burning out and keep your family safe from the serious injuries that DIY repairs or cheap fixes can cause.
Eidelberg Garage Doors has been solving garage door problems since 1945. That’s nearly eight decades of Long Island families trusting us when their doors won’t work.
We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. Most of our work comes from referrals—neighbors recommending us to neighbors. When someone puts their reputation on the line by recommending us, we make sure we earn that trust.
Glen Cove’s harsh winters are particularly tough on garage door springs. Cold snaps make metal brittle, and constant temperature swings accelerate wear. We stock high-quality springs designed to handle Long Island’s climate challenges.
We start by measuring your door’s exact weight and size to determine the correct spring specifications. Using the wrong spring damages your opener and creates dangerous imbalances.
Our technicians safely remove the broken spring using specialized tools and proper safety procedures. Garage door springs store enormous energy—mishandling them causes serious injuries. We have the training and equipment to do this safely.
We install new springs, balance your door, and test the complete system. A properly balanced door stays in place when opened halfway manually. We don’t consider the job done until everything operates smoothly and safely.
Before we leave, we clean up completely and show you the warning signs of future spring problems. Catching issues early prevents emergency breakdowns.

Most Glen Cove homes have either torsion springs (mounted horizontally above the door) or extension springs (running along the side tracks). Torsion springs are safer, last longer, and provide smoother operation—typically 10,000 to 20,000 cycles versus extension springs’ 7,000 to 10,000.
We stock high-cycle, oil-tempered springs that outlast standard springs by up to four times. They cost more initially but save money by reducing replacement frequency. This is especially important in Long Island’s harsh climate.
When one spring breaks, we typically recommend replacing both. Springs installed together wear at the same rate, so the second one usually fails within months. Replacing both prevents imbalanced operation that damages your opener.
Every spring replacement includes a complete safety inspection of cables, tracks, rollers, and hardware. Spring failure often signals that other components are wearing out too.
