A properly functioning garage door is essential for the safety, security, and convenience of your home in Citrus Heights, CA. At the heart of its smooth operation are the springs, which counterbalance the door’s weight, allowing it to open and close with ease. If your garage door utilizes extension springs and you’ve noticed a sudden change in its performance, or worse, heard a loud “bang,” you likely have a broken spring. Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions is your trusted local expert for safe, efficient, and reliable garage door extension spring replacement services throughout Citrus Heights and surrounding areas. Weβre available at (833) 289-0732 to restore your garage door’s functionality and your peace of mind.
Unlike torsion springs, which are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening, extension springs are located on either side of the horizontal tracks. They operate by stretching and contracting as the door moves, counterbalancing its weight. When the door closes, the springs extend to store energy; when it opens, they contract, releasing that energy to assist the opener. Most garage doors have two extension springs, one on each side, which work in tandem to ensure balanced movement.
Extension springs are typically rated for a certain number of cycles (one cycle is one opening and one closing). Over time, due to constant stretching and contracting, metal fatigue sets in, leading to eventual breakage. This is a common issue for homeowners, especially in areas like Citrus Heights where daily garage door usage is high.
The lifespan of a garage door extension spring is finite, but several factors can contribute to its premature failure. Understanding these can help you recognize the need for professional service:
If you observe any of these symptoms in your Citrus Heights home, contact Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions immediately. Attempting to operate a door with a broken spring is dangerous and can lead to further damage.
Garage door springs are under immense tension, making them incredibly dangerous to handle without proper training, tools, and experience. Attempting a DIY extension spring replacement can lead to severe injuries, including lacerations, broken bones, and even death. Beyond personal injury, improper installation can cause further damage to your garage door system, leading to more costly repairs down the line.

Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on either side of the garage door, stretching and contracting as the door moves. They often have safety cables running through their center. Torsion springs, on the other hand, are located directly above the garage door opening, mounted on a metal shaft, and operate by twisting.
No, it is highly unsafe. A broken extension spring means the door has lost its primary counterbalance. The door will be extremely heavy, potentially weighing hundreds of pounds, and can fall suddenly if you attempt to lift it, causing severe injury or extensive damage to the door and its components. Always contact a professional for service.
Standard extension springs are typically rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle is one opening and closing). With average daily use (2-4 cycles), this translates to about 5-7 years. However, factors like Citrus Heights’ hot summers and occasional rain, along with lack of lubrication, can accelerate wear. High-cycle springs (20,000+ cycles) are available for longer life.
Yes, it is strongly recommended. Extension springs work in pairs and are installed at the same time, meaning they have endured the same amount of wear and tear. If one spring has broken, the other is likely not far behind. Replacing both ensures balanced operation, prevents premature failure of the new spring, and extends the overall lifespan of your garage door system.
The cost can vary depending on the type of springs needed (standard vs. high-cycle), the number of springs replaced, and the complexity of the job.
