Garage door springs bear the full weight of your door, cycling thousands of times over their lifespan. When a spring breaks, your door becomes inoperable. ProTeam Garage Door provides same-day spring replacement across Broward and Palm Beach County.
Torsion springs mount on a steel shaft above the opening and use torque to counterbalance the door's weight. Rated for 15,000 to 20,000 cycles, they provide smoother operation and longer life. We always replace torsion springs in matched pairs to ensure even tension.
Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on both sides and stretch to store energy as the door closes. Found on older homes and lighter single-car doors, these must include safety cables to contain the spring if it snaps. During replacement, we verify safety cables are properly threaded to protect your family.
Watch for these warning signs: the door feels unusually heavy when lifted manually, the opener strains to fully open, visible gaps appear in the coils, the door opens unevenly, or you heard a loud bang from the garage. Any of these warrant immediate professional inspection.
A standard two-car door weighs 250 to 400 pounds, and the springs supporting it are under extreme tension. Attempting replacement without proper training and tools risks catastrophic injury. Emergency rooms treat thousands of spring-related injuries annually. This job should always be left to licensed professionals.
Our trucks carry a full inventory of standard and high-cycle springs, allowing us to complete most replacements within an hour of arrival. After installation, we balance the door, lubricate all components, and test the opener system to ensure flawless operation.
