Call (720) 734-5317Broken spring symptoms
- Door feels much heavier than normal
- Door opens only a few inches
- Visible gap in the torsion spring

Correct spring sizing matters
Replacement springs must match the door and lifting system. The correct spring helps the door stay balanced and reduces unnecessary load on the opener and other hardware.
Inspect cables and hardware at the same time
Spring failure can coincide with cable, drum, bearing or roller wear. The lifting system should be checked as a unit before the door is returned to normal use.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the opener with a broken spring?
Do not rely on the opener to compensate for a failed spring. The added load can damage the opener or leave the door in an unsafe position.
How do I know whether the spring or opener failed?
If the door is unusually heavy by hand or a spring is visibly separated, the lifting system is the likely issue. A technician can check both systems together.
