Broken Garage Door
Spring Repair

Loud bang? Door won't lift? We carry all sizes of high-cycle springs on our trucks for immediate, safe replacement.

Safety Warning

Garage door springs are under immense tension—enough to lift a 300lb door. When they snap, the remaining tension or improper winding can cause severe injury or property damage.

Please do not attempt to open the door manually or replace springs yourself.

Why Do Springs Break in Alaska?

It's simple metallurgy: extreme cold makes steel brittle. Combine that with the daily "cycles" of opening and closing your door, and metal fatigue sets in faster here than anywhere else.

Our "Arctic Grade" Solution:

  • High Cycle Springs: We upgrade you from standard 10,000 cycle springs to 20,000+ cycle springs.
  • Galvanized Steel: Resists rust and corrosion from condensation and humidity.
  • Dual Spring Conversion: If you have one spring, we often convert to two for safer, balanced lifting.
  • Proper Calibration: We weigh your door precisely to match the exact spring wire size needed.

Types of Springs We Replace

We stock 99% of residential spring sizes on our trucks for one-visit repairs.

Torsion Springs

Located above the door

The standard for modern homes. These mount on a bar above the door header. We recommend upgrading to a dual-spring setup for redundancy.

Most Common

Extension Springs

Located along the tracks

Common in older Anchorage homes with low headroom. These stretch along the horizontal tracks. We always install safety cables with these.

Legacy Style

High-Cycle Upgrade

Heavy Duty Option

Thicker wire gauge and larger diameter springs that last 2-3x longer than builder-grade springs. Perfect for Alaska's climate.

How We Fix It Safely

1. Secure the Door

We clamp the door down securely to prevent accidental movement while releasing tension.

2. Weigh & Measure

We weigh your door to determine the exact inch-pounds of lift needed for a perfect balance.

3. Install & Wind

We install new springs, cables, and bearings, then professionally wind them to spec.

4. Balance Test

We ensure the door lifts with one hand and stays in place halfway up without drifting.
