If your garage door is broken, there’s a good chance a faulty spring is to blame.
One of the most important components in a garage door assembly system are the springs.
Proudly Serving all of Chicagoland areas since 2000! Repair of broken garage door springs usually involves complete replacement of both springs because the springs are likely on the same life cycle life. The process of replacing the springs can be dangerous so it’s important to hire a garage door spring repair professional.

Types of Garage Door Springs
There are two main spring systems — torsion springs and extension springs.
- Torsion springs are large springs mounted to a metal rod that runs parallel to the door. These springs require the use of cables and pulleys and are tensioned and they twist and coil whenever force is applied. Standard torsion springs generally have a 10,000-cycle lifespan.
- Extension springs are lighter springs that run perpendicular to the door and are mounted above the door tracks. Like torsion springs, extension springs also require cables and pulleys, as well as safety cables. These springs typically last between 5,000 and 10,000 cycles.

“It’s rare to find a company with such excellent service, and I am so happy that I found Precision Garage Door. They diagnosed the roots of the closing issues we were having with the garage door, They gave us 3 detailed options to address the problems with prices. They went above and beyond to fix all the things wrong with the door and the gears, but also took care of the little minor problems. I called in the morning and they fixed the door later in the afternoon. Keith and Brian explained all their repairs and demonstrated the new and improved garage door. Best service ever!! Knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, professional!!”
