Broken Garage Door Spring? Should I change both springs, or just the one spring that is broken?

Garage door springs are under constant pressure and eventually; they will wear out and/or break.
When it happens we often get this question:
  • I have two springs on a shaft across the top of the door and one of the springs is broken. Should I change both springs, or just the one spring that is broken?
Every professional garage door repair technician will highly recommend that you change both springs at the same time. Here's why: Since both springs have been under the same amount of stress each time the door has been opened and closed it means the "non-broken" spring is very likely ready to go as well. In many cases it will cost less to have both springs changed at the same time than changing one spring at a time. (Why incur the cost and hassle of a second visit/repair)? In addition, most garage doors have two springs, the door may not balance properly with one new spring and one fatigued spring. Contact Us today to have both springs replaced and get your door back in proper working order!

  3. This is very good advice. We always suggest replacing both springs on your garage door at the same time as this will save time and money on a future garage door repair. We also offer a better warranty when both garage door springs are replaced at the same time.
