Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement
A broken spring is the #1 reason garage doors stop working. DoorChamp provides same-day torsion and extension spring service throughout Richmond and Metro Vancouver.
Safety first: Garage door springs are under extreme tension — up to 300 lbs of stored force. Attempting DIY spring repair risks serious injury or death. Always call a licensed technician.
Signs You Have a Broken Spring
Recognise any of these? Don't force the door — call us for a same-day diagnosis.
Door suddenly refuses to open
Usually means a spring snapped overnight — the opener runs but the door won't budge.
Loud bang from the garage (spring snapped)
A broken torsion spring releases stored energy instantly. That bang is the spring letting go.
Door feels extremely heavy to lift manually
Springs counterbalance the door's weight. Without them a single panel can weigh 100+ lbs.
Visible gap in the torsion spring coil
A gap of an inch or more in the coil above the door means the spring has failed.
Door opens 6 inches then stops
The opener's auto-reverse senses the excess load and stops — a safety feature triggered by spring failure.
Cables hanging loose or off their drums
When a spring breaks the cables go slack. Never operate the door with loose cables.
One side of door higher than the other
Uneven lift usually means one spring is broken or a cable has jumped its drum.
Opener straining and making grinding sounds
Forcing the motor to lift a door without spring assistance strains the unit and shortens its life.

(778) 732-0588Why Spring Repair Must Be Done by a Professional
Garage door torsion springs are wound to hold hundreds of pounds of force. When one snaps, the energy releases instantaneously — that's the bang you hear. Attempting to wind, adjust, or replace springs without the correct tools and training is one of the most dangerous DIY tasks around the home.
Our licensed technicians use proper winding bars and safety cables to replace springs correctly, set the right tension for your door weight, and inspect the full system so the same failure doesn't happen again.
- Correct spring selection for your door weight
- Proper tension calibration — not just replaced, but tuned
- Safety cable installation to contain a future break
- Full system inspection: cables, drums, bearings
- One-year labour warranty on all spring work
