Symptoms, Causes, and Fixes
How we approach garage door springs
Common Symptoms
- Noisy operation (grinding, squealing, banging)
- Door won't open/close or reverses unexpectedly
- Door is off track or tilting
- Opener struggles or starts/stops intermittently
- Broken spring/cable indicators (gap in spring, slack cable)
- Visible wear on rollers, hinges, or weather seals
Diagnosis & Repair Process
We begin with a comprehensive safety inspection, then isolate root causes—springs, cables, rollers/hinges, tracks, opener drive/logic, and sensor alignment. You'll receive clear options and transparent pricing before any work begins. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision that fits your budget and timeline.
Parts & Quality Standards
We source dependable components sized for your door weight and usage patterns. Our focus is on quiet operation, longevity, and safety reversal per manufacturer guidance. Where corrosion is a risk (coastal or high-humidity areas), we recommend upgraded hardware and seals to extend service life.
Safety Notes
- Never attempt spring or cable work—these are high-tension components that can cause serious injury.
- Do not pull the red emergency release with the door open unless a professional is present to lower it safely.
- Test photo-eye sensors monthly; the door should reverse smoothly when obstructed.
- Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts, especially hinges and track areas.
Maintenance & Prevention
Regular tune-ups check rollers, hinges, tracks, spring tension, cables, and opener force/limits. For wet or humid climates like the Portland metro, we recommend corrosion-resistant hardware and timely weather-seal replacement. Annual service helps catch small issues before they become costly repairs.

Torsion vs. Extension Springs — What's Different?
Torsion Springs
- • Mounted above the door on a shaft
- • Longer lifespan (15,000–30,000 cycles)
- • Smoother, quieter operation
- • Better balance and control
- • More common on modern doors
Extension Springs
- • Mounted along the horizontal tracks
- • Shorter lifespan (10,000–15,000 cycles)
- • More visible, stretch when door opens
- • Typically less expensive
- • Common on older or lighter doors
Safety Warning: No DIY Spring Work
Garage door springs are under extreme tension—hundreds of pounds of force. Attempting DIY spring replacement can result in serious injury or death. Even with the door closed, springs store dangerous amounts of energy.
Always call a professional for spring replacement. Our technicians have specialized tools, training, and safety equipment to handle high-tension components safely. We also ensure proper spring sizing and balance for your specific door weight and configuration.
