Garage door spring replacement in Kennewick
Garage door springs do the heavy lifting, not the opener. When a spring breaks, the door becomes too heavy to lift safely. The fix is replacing the spring, and usually its pair, with springs sized to your exact door.
Most Kennewick homes have torsion springs mounted on a bar above the door. Older and some single-car doors use extension springs that run alongside the horizontal tracks. We replace both types, and we size new springs by weighing and measuring your door, not by guessing from the broken one.
Standard garage door springs are rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles. For a household that uses the door three or four times a day, that's roughly seven to ten years. If your springs are original to the house, expect them to fail around the same time. High-cycle springs that last two to three times longer are available for busy households.
Signs your garage door spring is broken
A broken spring is the most common reason a garage door suddenly stops working. Look for these signs:
A loud bang from the garage
Torsion springs store a lot of energy. When one snaps, it sounds like a gunshot or something heavy falling.
Door won't open or stops after a few inches
The opener can't lift the full weight of the door without the spring's help, so it stalls or reverses.
A visible gap in the spring
Look at the spring above the door. A one to two inch gap between coils means it has snapped.
Door feels extremely heavy
With the opener disconnected, a balanced door lifts easily by hand. A door with a broken spring feels like dead weight.
Door slams shut or drops fast
A weak or broken spring can't control the door on the way down, so it closes hard.
Cables hanging loose
When spring tension is gone, the lift cables often go slack and come off their drums.
Never replace a torsion spring yourself
Torsion springs are wound under extreme tension. Winding or unwinding them without the right bars and training can cause serious injury. Leave the door closed, unplug the opener and call us.
How we replace a broken spring
Spring replacement is done safely and precisely, so the door is balanced and the garage door opener isn't strained.
-
Secure the door
We clamp the door in place and safely release any tension left in the system.
-
Weigh and measure
We check the door's weight, height and drum size to calculate the right wire size, length and inside diameter.
-
Replace springs in pairs
On two-spring doors we replace both. The second spring is the same age and usually close to failing.
-
Balance and test
We wind the new springs to the correct turns, confirm the door stays put halfway open, lubricate and test the safety reverse.

FAQ
Spring questions, answered
Don't see your question?
Describe what your door is doing and we'll tell you what's likely wrong and what it should cost.
Call +1 (509) 628-4578How long do garage door springs last?
Standard springs last about 10,000 cycles, roughly 7 to 10 years for most households. High-cycle springs can last two to three times longer.
Should I replace both springs if only one broke?
Yes, on doors with two springs. Both springs are the same age and have done the same work, so the second one usually fails soon after. Replacing both also keeps the door balanced.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
We don't recommend it. Without the spring, the door's full weight sits on the opener and cables, and the door can drop suddenly. If you need to get a car out, call us first.
How long does garage door spring replacement take?
Most residential spring replacements are finished in a single visit, including balancing and safety testing.
What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door and twist to lift it, while extension springs run along the tracks and stretch. Torsion systems are smoother and safer, and we can convert an extension system if you'd like.
