Garage Door Spring Repair in Brooklyn, NY

A loud bang from the garage and a door that will not open usually mean one thing: a broken spring. Brooklyn Overhead Door Spring & Opener Repair replaces torsion and extension springs all over Brooklyn, the same day you call.

Torsion and Extension Springs

Most Brooklyn garage doors use one of two systems. Torsion springs sit on a shaft above the door and wind up as it closes; extension springs run along the side tracks and stretch. Both carry the weight of the door, and both must be sized to that door. We measure the door and the old spring, install the right replacement and balance the door so it stays put halfway up.

Signs of a Broken Spring

• A loud bang from the garage when nobody was using the door.
• A gap in the coil of the spring above the door.
• The opener runs but the door lifts only a few inches.
• The door is very heavy by hand or comes down too fast.

Do Not Force the Door

With a broken spring the door is not balanced. Do not keep pressing the remote and do not try to lift it – the opener can burn out and the door can drop. Many Brooklyn garages sit under the house, so if your car is stuck inside, tell us and we will prioritize the call. Springs often fail together with cables, so we check both.
