Top-rated garage door spring replacement (extension springs) provider serving Kent and surrounding areas. Fast response, free estimates.
Unlike torsion springs that mount above the door, extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on both sides of your garage door. These robust springs work by stretching and contracting to counterbalance the immense weight of your garage door, making it feel light enough to open and close smoothly, whether manually or with an opener. Each spring is designed to bear half the door’s weight, creating a balanced system.
Crucially, extension spring systems require safety cables. These cables are threaded through the center of each spring and attached to the wall or ceiling at both ends. In the event of a spring breaking, the safety cable prevents the spring from whipping dangerously across your garage, protecting property and, more importantly, people. If your Kent home’s garage door relies on extension springs, ensuring these cables are intact and properly installed is just as vital as the springs themselves.
A broken extension spring isn’t always subtle. Here are the tell-tale signs that your garage door’s extension springs might need immediate attention from Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions:
Any of these indicators mean it’s time to call the professionals at Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions for prompt and safe service.

Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions is proud to offer our comprehensive garage door services, including expert extension spring replacement, to Kent and many surrounding communities in the Puget Sound region. Our service area includes, but is not limited to:
A: Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks above your garage door, stretching and contracting as the door moves. They are typically found on either side of the door opening. Torsion springs, on the other hand, are mounted on a metal shaft directly above the garage door opening, parallel to the top of the door, and twist to generate torque.
A: While physically possible, it is strongly recommended to replace both extension springs simultaneously. Springs wear out at a similar rate, and if one has broken, the other is likely not far behind. Replacing both ensures balanced operation, extends the overall life of your garage door system, and prevents another breakdown in the near future.
A: Standard extension springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles (one open and one close equals one cycle). For an average household, this translates to about 7-12 years. However, factors like Kent’s humidity, lack of maintenance, or frequent use can shorten this lifespan. High-cycle springs (25,000+ cycles) are available for greater durability.
A: Safety cables are steel wires that run through the center of each extension spring and are secured at both ends to the garage wall or ceiling. Their critical purpose is to contain the spring if it breaks. Without safety cables, a snapping extension spring can become a dangerous projectile, causing serious injury or property damage. Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions always installs new safety cables with extension spring replacements.
A: We understand the urgency of a broken garage door. Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions strives to offer prompt and efficient service to our Kent, WA customers. In most cases, we can complete an extension spring replacement on the same day you call, ensuring your garage door is safely operational as quickly as possible.
