Broken Garage Door Spring in Calgary? Don’t Lift the Door — Call Us First
Garage door springs are under extreme tension — up to 300 lbs of force. When one breaks, the door becomes extremely heavy and impossible to lift manually. This is one of the most common garage door emergencies in Calgary, especially in winter when metal fatigue accelerates. Never attempt to lift the door or repair the spring yourself.
Torsion Springs vs Extension Springs
Torsion springs run horizontally above the garage door opening. They are the more common type in Calgary homes and last longer. When a torsion spring breaks you will typically hear a loud bang.
Extension springs run along the sides of the door tracks. Older homes often have extension springs. If one breaks, the door will sag severely or become completely unbalanced.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring Needs Replacement
- Loud bang from the garage — spring snapped
- Door is extremely heavy or impossible to lift
- Door opens only a few inches then stops
- Opener runs but door barely moves
- Visible gap in the torsion spring coil
- Door closes unevenly or one side drops lower
Frequently Asked Questions — Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement Calgary
How much does garage door spring repair cost in Calgary?
Torsion spring replacement costs $380–$480 + GST for a pair, including both springs, labour and a 1-year warranty. We always replace both springs at the same visit.
How long does garage door spring replacement take?
Most spring replacements take 1–2 hours. Our technicians carry torsion and extension springs on their trucks so most Calgary area repairs are same-day.
Is a broken garage door spring dangerous?
Yes, extremely. Springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension. A broken spring can cause the door to fall or cause serious injury if mishandled. Do not operate the door. Call us immediately.
