Garage Door Spring Repair. Same-day garage door repairs.

Garage Door Spring Repair in Ottawa And Nearby Areas. Call or Text 343-777-8893 — Same-day services.

How Garage Door Springs Function
Garage door springs are essential for effortlessly lifting and holding your garage door open. Using stored tension, they counterbalance the door’s weight, making the operation smooth. When you activate the opener or manually close the door, the springs release tension, allowing the door to lower safely. Designed for durability, quality springs last approximately 5–7 years or about 10,000 open-and-close cycles.


Need a Spring Replacement?
If your garage door isn’t moving smoothly, trust GDS  - Garage Doors & Openers Ottawa for expert spring replacement in Ottawa. Call us at 3437778893 to restore your door’s functionality.


Garage Door Springs and Safety
Springs are under high tension, making them dangerous when worn or broken. Attempting to replace them yourself can lead to serious injury or property damage. At GDS - Garage Doors & Openers Ottawa, our skilled technicians handle spring replacements safely and efficiently. If your garage door is aging or showing signs of wear, let us inspect your springs to ensure safe operation.

  • Inspection: A thorough check of your springs to assess their condition.  
  • Recommendations: Advice on whether one or both springs need replacement.  
  • Spring Selection: Choosing the right spring for your door’s size and weight.  
  • Installation: Precise installation with proper tension for safe performance.  
  • Testing: Ensuring your door operates smoothly and reliably.

Types of Garage Door Springs 

  • Torsion Springs: Mounted above the door on a metal shaft, these apply torque to lift the door via cables and drums. Their cycle life and lift depend on wire size, inside diameter, and length. For expert torsion spring repair in Ottawa, contact us!  
  • Extension Springs: Installed along the horizontal tracks, these stretch and contract to balance the door’s weight. We provide reliable extension spring repairs in Ottawa.


Garage Door Spring FAQs


What Issues Can Arise With Springs?

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The most common signs are:  

  • The door is extremely heavy to lift manually  
  • You hear a loud bang from the garage  
  • The door only opens a few inches then stops  
  • You see a visible gap (about 2–3 inches) in a torsion spring  
  • One or both cables are hanging loose  
  • The door closes very fast or slams down


Technically, yes, but it’s very dangerous. A standard 16×7 door can weigh 350–450 lbs without working springs. Never attempt to open it manually unless you disconnect the opener and have help. Call a professional immediately.


Most standard torsion springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open + one close). At 3–6 uses per day, that’s roughly 7–15 years. Extension springs usually last 5–7 years.


  • Torsion springs: Mounted above the door, use torque, safer, and smoother.  
  • Extension springs: Run along the horizontal tracks on both sides, stretch when the door opens, and are more prone to sudden failure.


If you had two old springs of the same age, when one fails, the entire load transfers to the second spring, causing it to break almost immediately. This is why professionals almost always recommend replacing both springs at the same time.


Yes — most reputable companies offer warranties of 3–10 years on new torsion springs (depending on the cycle rating) and a 1-year labor warranty.
