Always replace both springs at the same time. When one spring breaks, the other has endured the same number of cycles and is typically close to failure. Replacing both ensures your door is perfectly balanced, prevents another unexpected breakdown, and saves you a second service call. This is our standard recommendation for every spring replacement in Sunrise, FL.

Standard springs typically last 7,000–10,000 cycles — roughly 5–8 years with average use. In South Florida's heat, humidity, and salt air, springs wear faster than in northern climates. That's why we install high-cycle springs rated for 20,000+ cycles for every Sunrise, FL customer — they typically last 12–15 years and are worth the small additional investment.

No — never use a garage door with a broken spring. The door is extremely heavy without spring counterbalance (often 150–400 lbs) and can crash down without warning. Forcing the opener to work without a spring will also burn out the motor. Stop using the door immediately and call us at (786) 258-8283 — we offer same-day emergency service throughout Sunrise, FL.

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs store enormous amounts of energy under tension — a spring that snaps during DIY replacement can cause severe injury or death. The tools required (winding bars, torque wrenches, spring sizing knowledge) are specialized. In Sunrise, FL, the cost of professional spring replacement is reasonable and includes full balancing, safety checks, and a warranty. Always call a licensed technician.

Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the door on a central shaft and use torque to lift the door. They're the most common type in Sunrise, FL homes and all commercial doors — more durable and safer when they break. Extension springs run along the side tracks above the door and stretch to operate. They're found on older or lighter doors. We handle both types with same-day service throughout Broward County.
