Expert garage door spring replacement (extension springs) in Kirkland, WA. Factory-trained techs with OEM parts. Available 24/7.
Garage door springs are the unsung heroes of your garage door system, bearing the immense weight of the door and enabling its smooth, controlled movement. While torsion springs are often seen on heavier doors, extension springs are commonly found on standard residential garage doors, typically running parallel to the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. They stretch and contract to counterbalance the door’s weight as it opens and closes.
When an extension spring breaks, the balance of your garage door is severely compromised. This can lead to a range of dangerous and inconvenient issues:
Recognizing the signs of a failing spring early can prevent further damage and ensure your safety. If you hear a loud “bang” from your garage, see a visible gap in a spring, or notice any of the above symptoms, it’s time to call Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions.

Cold weather can make springs more brittle and susceptible to breakage, while constant moisture can accelerate rust and corrosion.

Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks of your garage door on either side, stretching and contracting to counterbalance the door’s weight. They typically require safety cables. Torsion springs, on the other hand, are located above the garage door opening, mounted on a metal shaft, and twist to generate torque. Torsion systems are generally considered more durable and quieter, but both types serve the same fundamental purpose of lifting and lowering the door.
A broken extension spring will usually be visibly separated, with a noticeable gap in the coil. You might also hear a loud “bang” when it breaks. If the spring isn’t visibly broken but the door feels unusually heavy, opens unevenly, or struggles to stay open, it might be out of adjustment or losing tension. In either case, it’s best to have a professional from Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions inspect it to diagnose the exact problem and recommend the appropriate fix.
No, we strongly advise against attempting DIY extension spring replacement. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause severe injury or even death if mishandled. They can snap, fly off, or cause the heavy garage door to fall unexpectedly. Professional technicians have specialized tools, training, and experience to safely remove and install springs. For your safety and the longevity of your garage door, always call a licensed professional like Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions.
The lifespan of extension springs depends on several factors, including quality, usage frequency, and maintenance. On average, standard extension springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles (one cycle is opening and closing the door once). This typically translates to 7-12 years for most residential users. However, factors like Kirkland’s damp climate, lack of lubrication, or heavy daily use can shorten this lifespan. Regular maintenance can help prolong their life.
If you suspect or know an extension spring has broken, first and foremost, do not attempt to operate the garage door, either manually or with the opener. Disconnect the opener from power to prevent accidental activation. Keep children and pets away from the door. Then, immediately contact Nova Garage Door Repair Solutions at (833) 289-0732. We will dispatch a qualified technician to safely assess the situation and perform the necessary repairs.
