Expert Torsion & Extension Spring Replacement Powered by AGG Doors

Did you hear a loud bang in your garage? Is your door stuck shut or too heavy to lift? Broken high-tension springs are dangerous and require licensed professionals. Backed by AGG Doors, we replace torsion and extension springs fast using heavy-duty Australian-standard steel.

Your garage door springs do all the heavy lifting—counterbalancing 80kg to 150kg+ of door weight so your opener or hands can lift it effortlessly. When a spring fatigues and snaps, your automatic motor cannot lift the dead weight, leaving your vehicle trapped inside or your garage unsecured. Our local Narre Warren mobile vans arrive stocked with oil-tempered, high-cycle replacement springs to complete repairs in a single visit.

Troubleshooting Guide

4 Signs You Have a Broken Garage Door Spring

Recognise the symptoms early before straining your automatic opener motor or risking cable damage.

1. Loud Snap or Bang

Many homeowners mistake the sound of a snapping torsion spring for a gunshot or fireworks in their garage. If you heard a loud bang, inspect the spring above the door immediately.

2. Visible Gap in Spring

Look at the metal torsion spring mounted horizontally above your garage door frame. If you see a 2 to 5 cm gap separating the coils, the spring is completely severed.

3. Door Opens 10cm Then Stops

Automatic openers have safety sensors designed to detect excessive resistance. If the opener lifts the door just a few inches and shuts off, the dead weight of a broken spring is the cause.

4. Loose or Crooked Cables

When a spring loses tension, the steel lift cables attached to the bottom brackets slacken or slip off the drums, causing the door to sit crooked or hang dangerously off track.

DIY Spring Safety Warning

NEVER attempt to replace, adjust, or unwind garage door springs yourself.

Garage door springs store extreme mechanical torque capable of lifting hundreds of kilograms. Attempting to loosen winding cones or bottom brackets without specialized winding bars and trade training can cause severe impact injuries or property damage.

No pliers or screwdrivers

Don't unbolt bottom brackets

Stop running opener motor

Frequently Asked Questions

Garage Door Spring Replacement FAQ

How long do garage door springs usually last?

Standard residential garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 opening and closing cycles. For an average household operating the door 4 times per day, springs typically last between 7 to 10 years depending on climate, maintenance, and door weight balance.

Why should I replace both springs if only one broke?

Both springs were installed at the same time and subjected to the exact same number of cycles and metal fatigue. When one spring snaps, the second spring almost always breaks within weeks or months. Replacing both together saves you an extra callout fee and ensures balanced lifting power.

How much does spring replacement cost in Narre Warren?

Cost depends on whether your door uses single or double torsion springs or extension springs, as well as door dimensions and weight. You can calculate an instant estimate for your specific door setup by visiting garagedoorquote.net.

Can I still open my garage door manually with a broken spring?

We strongly advise against it. Without working springs to counterbalance the heavy panel or roller door, you would be attempting to manually lift 100kg+ of dead weight, which can cause severe back strain or cause the door to crash down uncontrollably.
