A broken garage door spring is the most common — and most urgent — garage door problem. When a spring snaps, your door becomes impossible to open and a serious safety hazard. At Lavish Garage Door Services, we carry torsion and extension springs on every service vehicle and complete most spring repairs in Jacksonville within 2 hours of your call.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken
Don’t ignore these warning signs. A failing spring can snap suddenly and cause serious damage to your door, vehicle, and property.
- The door won’t open or feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
- A loud bang came from the garage — springs snap with a sharp crack
- You can see a visible gap or separation in the spring coil
- The door opens a few inches and then stops
- The door is uneven or one side is higher than the other
- The opener strains, struggles, or reverses after running
Torsion vs. Extension Springs — What We Repair
Most Jacksonville homes use one of two spring systems. We repair and replace both types, and always provide a full safety inspection of all components.
- Torsion springs — mounted horizontally above the door opening, most common in newer homes. Last 10,000–15,000 cycles (7–12 years with daily use)
- Extension springs — mounted on both sides above the horizontal track, common in older homes. Last 8,000–12,000 cycles
- We always inspect and replace springs in pairs — replacing only one risks the second breaking soon after
- BOGO special applies to torsion springs — buy one, get one free on qualifying repairs
Why You Should Never DIY a Spring Repair
Garage door springs are under extreme tension. Attempting to replace them without professional training and tools puts you and your family at serious risk.
Extreme Tension
Garage door springs store enormous mechanical energy. A snapping spring can cause serious injury or death — this is not a DIY project under any circumstances.
Professional Tools
Our licensed technicians use professional winding bars, safety cables, and strict protocols to release spring tension and replace springs safely every time.
Full Safety Inspection
Every spring repair includes a complete inspection of cables, rollers, tracks, and hardware — catching secondary issues before they become emergencies.

No. Do not attempt to open your garage door manually or with the opener when a spring is broken. The door can fall suddenly and cause serious injury or damage your vehicle. Call us at (904) 815-3310 for emergency repair.
How long do garage door springs last in Florida?
Torsion springs typically last 10,000–15,000 cycles (7–12 years with daily use). Florida’s humidity can accelerate wear. We recommend lubricating springs annually and inspecting them every 2–3 years.
