A broken garage door spring is a common cause of failure, causing the door to refuse to open, close unevenly, or become unstable. To prevent this, Davenport Garage Door Repair offers expert broken spring replacement services. The main types of garage door springs are Torsion Springs and Extension Springs, which are installed above the door and expand and contract to aid movement.
Signs of a broken garage door spring include loud bang or snapping noise, garage door won't open, uneven movement, loose or hanging cables, and a visible gap in the spring. If you notice any of these signs, don't attempt to open the door manually, as it can be dangerous.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension and wear out over time due to normal wear and tear, rust and corrosion, cold weather and temperature changes, poor installation or low-quality springs, and extra weight on the garage door. To ensure your garage door operates safely, Davenport Garage Door Repair follows a thorough repair process:
Step 1: Inspection & Diagnosis
We conduct a full inspection to confirm that the spring is the problem and assess any additional damage. Step 2: Safe Removal of the Broken Spring
We use specialized tools to remove the broken spring safely. Step 3: Installation of a New, High-Quality Spring

Before we finish, we test your garage door multiple times to ensure it opens and closes properly.
