What Is a Garage Door Torsion Spring?
A torsion spring is a tightly wound coil located above your garage door. It stores energy and helps lift and lower the door smoothly. These springs are critical to your garage door’s function—if they break, the door won’t operate safely.
How Do I Know If My Torsion Spring Is Broken?
Here are common signs your garage door torsion spring may need replacing:
-
The garage door won’t open or closes too quickly
-
You hear a loud “bang” in the garage
-
The door looks crooked or off-balance
-
You see a visible gap in the spring
-
The opener strains or fails to lift the door
If you notice any of these symptoms, stop using the door and call JB Garage Door Repair Las Vegas immediately at (702) [insert number].
Is It Dangerous to Replace a Torsion Spring Myself?
Yes, it’s extremely dangerous. Torsion springs are under high tension, and attempting a DIY repair can lead to serious injury or damage. Our technicians are trained, insured, and equipped with the proper tools to safely handle the replacement.
How Long Do Garage Door Torsion Springs Last?
Standard torsion springs typically last about 10,000 cycles, or 7–10 years, depending on how often you use your garage door. We offer high-cycle springs that can last up to 25,000 cycles for added peace of mind.

Can Both Torsion Springs Be Replaced at Once?
Absolutely—and it’s recommended. If your door uses two torsion springs and one breaks, the other is likely close to the end of its lifespan. Replacing both ensures balanced tension and extends the life of your opener.
