Spring Replacement
Broken Garage Door Spring Replacement in Ogden, Utah
A loud bang from the garage and a door that suddenly weighs 300 pounds? That's a broken spring. We carry every common size and can be there today.
About This Service
What you should know about broken spring replacement in northern Utah
Of every garage door call we run in Ogden, broken springs are #1. A torsion spring counterbalances the entire weight of the door — when it snaps, the door becomes a dead weight that the opener simply cannot lift. Trying to force it almost always damages the opener or the door itself, so the right move is to stop and call.
Windsor Door Sales replaces broken garage door springs across Ogden, Weber County and the rest of northern Utah every single day. Our trucks stock torsion springs in every common wire size and length, plus extension springs and safety cables for older systems still common in 1970s-era Bountiful and Holladay homes.
Most residential springs are rated for 10,000 cycles — roughly 7–9 years of average use. If you'd rather not do this again, ask about our high-cycle upgrade: 25,000 to 50,000-cycle springs that often outlast the door itself. The cost difference is small and the longevity payoff is huge.
Springs always come in pairs and they always wear together. We will only ever replace one if the other is brand new — replacing just one old spring guarantees a second call within a few months.

Warning Signs
When to call us
Loud bang from the garage
A snapped torsion spring is unmistakable — sounds like a gunshot.
Door won't lift at all
Or only lifts a few inches before reversing — classic broken-spring symptom.
Visible gap in the spring
Look up at the torsion bar — a clean 1–2 inch gap means it's broken.
Opener strains and stops
The motor protects itself when the door is too heavy to lift safely.
Door is crooked when opening
One spring failed on a two-spring system — common warning sign.
Cables hanging loose
When tension is lost, the cables go slack — don't operate the door.
