Broken spring replacement

A broken garage door spring is one of the most common — and most serious — issues homeowners face with their garage door systems. Springs carry the weight of the door and enable it to open and close smoothly. When one breaks, your garage door may become extremely heavy, uneven, or completely non-functional. Attempting to lift it manually or continue using the opener can cause further damage and pose serious safety risks. That’s why broken spring replacement should always be handled by trained professionals. At BlackBear Garage Doors, we specialize in fast, safe, and reliable broken spring replacements across Colorado. Whether you have a torsion spring system or extension springs, our technicians are fully equipped to identify the exact type and size needed for your specific door. We begin by safely securing the door, removing the damaged spring, and installing a high-quality replacement spring that’s perfectly balanced for your door’s weight and dimensions. After installation, we adjust tension precisely, test door balance, and ensure the opener and safety systems function correctly. Common signs of a broken spring include a loud bang from the garage, a door that won’t open more than a few inches, visible gaps in the spring coil, or the opener straining without lifting the door. Even if only one spring appears broken, we typically recommend replacing both (on double-spring systems) to maintain proper tension and avoid uneven wear. Ignoring spring issues can lead to broken cables, opener burnout, and further system strain, increasing both repair costs and safety hazards. We proudly serve homeowners and businesses in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, and Colorado Springs, providing same-day or next-day service for most spring replacements. Our team works on all major brands including Clopay, Craftsman, LiftMaster, Marantec, and Stanley, using durable, long-lasting springs designed to withstand daily use and Colorado’s seasonal climate changes. If your garage door isn’t opening smoothly or seems heavier than usual, don’t take risks.
