Professional Garage Door Spring Repair Services

Garage door springs are one of the most critical components of your garage door system. At Thompson Overhead Garage, we specialize in fast, reliable spring repair and replacement services for homeowners and businesses throughout Bel Air, MD and the surrounding areas.

Whether you have a broken torsion spring, extension spring issues, or need preventative maintenance, our experienced technicians are equipped to handle any spring repair job safely and efficiently.

Common Spring Problems We Fix

• Broken Torsion Springs: The most common spring failure, torsion springs wear out over time and can break suddenly, preventing your door from opening or closing.
• Broken Extension Springs: These springs can snap or lose tension, making the door difficult to operate or causing it to fall unexpectedly.
• Spring Tension Issues: Springs that have lost tension won't provide proper balance, making the door hard to open or causing it to slam shut.
• Worn or Frayed Cables: Often associated with spring failure, worn cables need immediate replacement for safety.
• Spring Rust and Corrosion: Over time, springs can rust and weaken, reducing their lifespan and effectiveness.
• Off-Track Doors: Broken springs can cause doors to derail, requiring both spring and track repair.

Spring Repair vs. Replacement

In most cases, broken springs need to be replaced rather than repaired. Springs are under extreme tension and attempting to repair them can be dangerous. We always recommend complete spring replacement with high-quality parts to ensure your door operates safely and reliably.

If your springs are showing signs of wear but haven't broken yet, we can perform maintenance to extend their lifespan and prevent future problems.

Residential & Commercial Spring Repair

We service both residential and commercial garage doors, including:

• Single and double residential garage doors
• Heavy commercial and industrial doors
• High-cycle commercial doors
• Custom and specialty garage doors

Spring Replacement Cost

The cost of garage door spring repair depends on several factors, including:

• Type of spring (torsion or extension)
• Size and weight of your door
• Number of springs that need replacement
• Any additional damage to cables or other components
