Garage door springs perform thousands of lifting cycles over their lifespan. As they age, they weaken or snap — especially in climates like Indiana that experience temperature swings ranging from freezing winters to humid summers.
Common reasons springs fail:
Standard torsion springs last 7–12 years depending on usage.
Kokomo’s winter lows cause metal to contract, increasing stress on aging springs.
Many Indiana homes were built with springs undersized for their door weight.
Modern, insulated steel doors strain older springs.
Humidity and condensation reduce spring lifespan.
A broken spring is the #1 most common garage door emergency because it prevents your door from opening at all.
Replacing a garage door spring requires specialized tools, precision sizing, and strict safety procedures. Springs are under extreme tension — improper installation can damage your door, motor, or cause serious injury.
We provide:
We calculate your door’s exact weight and cycle rating to select the proper torsion spring.
Broken springs often need immediate attention — we prioritize these calls.
Extended-life springs last significantly longer, ideal for busy Kokomo households.
We ensure your garage door lifts smoothly and safely after installation.
We prevent motor damage by verifying opener limits, force settings, and travel alignment.
We remove and dispose of broken springs at no additional charge.
Your garage door will be restored to safe, smooth operation with properly calibrated components.
Our spring replacement process includes:
We secure the door, disconnect the opener, and inspect cables, drums, bearings, and rollers.
We measure wire size, coil count, inside diameter, and door weight to select the correct spring.
We safely unwind tension and remove damaged or worn springs.
We install properly matched springs with high-quality hardware.
Your door should lift with minimal force and stay in place halfway open.
We adjust force settings, travel limits, and safety features.
We ensure smooth travel, quiet operation, and safe function.
You’ll receive a clear explanation of the work performed and maintenance tips to prolong spring life.
Mounted above the door, torsion springs provide smooth, controlled lifting power. These are the preferred modern standard and come in various cycle ratings.
Found on track sides, these are more common in older Kokomo neighborhoods like Indian Heights and Westbrook.
For heavy doors, multi-car families, or homeowners wanting maximum lifespan.
Two springs provide better balance and safety. If your door has dual springs and only one breaks, both should always be replaced for proper function.
If you notice any of the following, your spring may be failing:
The door won’t open at all
The door lifts a few inches and stops
The opener strains or makes grinding sounds
You heard a loud bang in the garage
The door is crooked or feels extremely heavy
The spring has a visible gap
The opener hums but doesn’t move the door
A broken spring makes your door unsafe to operate — replacement should be handled immediately.
Spring lifespan depends on usage:
Standard torsion springs: 7,000–12,000 cycles
High-cycle springs: 20,000–50,000 cycles
Heavy doors: shorter lifespan
Cold winters: reduce spring durability
Frequent daily use: faster wear
Most Kokomo homeowners replace springs every 7–12 years, or sooner if their doors are heavily used.
