Extension springs are typically found on either side of your garage door, running parallel to the horizontal tracks. They work by stretching and contracting to counterbalance the weight of the door as it moves up and down. When the door closes, the springs extend, storing energy. When the door opens, they contract, releasing that energy to assist the opener. This delicate balance is crucial for the smooth and safe operation of your garage door.
Unlike torsion springs, which are mounted above the door, extension springs require safety cables threaded through them. These cables are a vital safety feature designed to prevent a broken spring from flying across the garage and causing injury or damage. Regardless of your spring type, when one fails, the entire system is compromised.
Identifying a failing extension spring early can prevent further damage to your garage door system and avoid potential safety risks. Here are some common indicators that it might be time for a professional extension spring replacement:
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to stop using your garage door immediately and contact professionals like Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions. Operating a garage door with a broken spring can lead to more extensive and costly damage to your opener, panels, or tracks, not to mention creating a significant safety hazard.

Extension springs are typically located above the horizontal tracks on either side of your garage door, running parallel to the tracks. They stretch and contract as the door moves. They also usually have safety cables running through their center. In contrast, torsion springs are mounted horizontally directly above the garage door opening on a metal shaft.
We strongly advise against attempting to replace extension springs yourself. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause severe injury or even death if not handled correctly. Specialized tools and expertise are required to safely remove and install them. Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions has licensed, insured, and experienced technicians who can perform this dangerous job safely and efficiently, ensuring your door’s proper function and your safety.
The lifespan of extension springs can vary, but generally, they are rated for 7,000 to 12,000 cycles (one cycle is one open and one close). In Seattle’s damp and sometimes salty air near the Puget Sound, rust and corrosion can accelerate wear, potentially shortening their lifespan. Regular maintenance and lubrication can help prolong their life. If you have an older system or notice signs of wear, it’s wise to have them inspected.
Yes, absolutely. If one extension spring breaks, the other spring has likely been under increased stress and is nearing the end of its lifespan. Replacing both springs simultaneously ensures balanced tension, preventing premature failure of the remaining old spring and reducing stress on your garage door opener. Our technicians always recommend replacing both springs for optimal performance and safety.
