Columbus Garage Door Spring Repair Services

Your garage door is one of the main entrances of your homes and is potentially used more than the front door of  your home. Keeping this in mind, your garage door will endure a significant amount of wear and tear throughout the years. If your garage door is having trouble opening and closing, there could be a problem with the springs. Garage door springs are under a large amount of tension and if they are not set up properly, it could become a danger to you and your home. Below, you’ll find information on identifying signs of a broken garage door spring, as well as details on spring repair and replacement costs.

If you suspect your garage door spring is broken, we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a repair expert from Modern Day Garage of Columbus. Schedule an appointment today.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring is Broken

There are several indicators that your garage door spring is broken or on the verge of breaking. If your garage door exhibits any of the following signs, it is advisable to contact the Modern Day Garage team immediately for expert repair services.

  1. Loose Cables: Broken springs can cause the cables to lose tension and become slack, which is a sign that the garage door springs are not functioning correctly.
  2. Bent or Misaligned Garage Door: If your garage door appears to be bent or misaligned, there could be a broken spring causing the issue. If the door appears tilted or uneven while moving, this is a sign of a bent door. To prevent further damage, cease operating the door as soon as you notice this problem.
  3. Loud Noise: A broken garage door spring often produces a loud noise. If you hear this sound, inspect all the springs to ensure nothing is loose or has fallen. Typically, there will be a loud, banging sound even if the door hasn’t fallen.
  4. Rapidly Falling Garage Door: If your garage door descends more quickly than usual, it may indicate that a spring has broken. Since garage door springs bear the weight of the door, it’s crucial to contact a professional technician right away. 

Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?

Garage door springs break and sustain damage for various reasons. Below are the most common causes we encounter.

  1. Wear and Tear: Most garage door springs are designed to last for 10,000 cycles, with each cycle representing one full opening and closing of the door. Though this may seem like a lot, daily usage adds up quickly, putting significant strain on the springs, especially for those who use their garage doors frequently.
  2. Lack of Maintenance: Regular maintenance is vital for prolonging the life of your garage door springs. While maintenance can delay the inevitable, all springs will eventually fail. Regular checks and maintenance can prevent injuries, as broken springs can pose serious hazards. We recommend having your springs inspected annually to ensure they are in good working condition.
  3. Rust: Exposure to harsh weather can cause rust to form on garage door springs, significantly reducing their lifespan. Proper lubrication helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can weaken the spring coils and lead to breakage.

If you need garage door repair or maintenance, Modern Day Garage of Columbus is here to help. Schedule an appointment today.

How Much Do New Garage Door Springs Cost?

The cost of replacing garage door springs varies based on several factors, including the door’s type and size, the type of spring, and labor. While you might consider replacing the springs yourself to reduce cost, this task is highly dangerous due to the high tension in the springs. It is best to seek professional assistance to reduce the risk of injury during the replacement process.

Great service. Appointments were timely and good communication. The technician did all he could do to repair, which he did, vs replace our old but well functioning unit. Would absolutely call them for any problems but hopefully will not do need to:)
