Same-Day Torsion and Extension Spring Replacement in Ottawa
Garage door spring replacement is one of the most common calls we take in Ottawa, because springs do the heavy lifting on almost every door in Ontario. They counterbalance the door’s weight, so once a spring snaps the door feels like dead weight.
Our technicians remove the worn springs, measure your door and install new springs matched to its weight and height. We replace springs in pairs, check the cables and bearings while the system is unwound, and balance the door before we leave.
Most residential doors use a torsion spring mounted on a shaft above the opening, while older and lighter doors often use extension springs that run along the horizontal tracks. We service homes and commercial overhead doors for all major brands, including Garaga, Chamberlain, Clopay and LiftMaster, with same-day service available 24/7.
We explain what we find, show you the options and work right in front of you. We never rush or patch problems together, because our promise is simple: We Will Fix It Right The First Time.
Our Garage Door Spring Replacement Process
- Inspect and explain: We look at the springs, cables, drums and bearings, confirm the cause and give you a clear, upfront estimate before any work starts.
- Secure the door: We clamp the door in place and disconnect the opener so nothing moves while the springs still hold tension.
- Unwind and remove: Using proper winding bars, we release the remaining tension in a controlled way and take the old springs off the shaft or tracks.
- Install sized springs: We fit new springs matched to your door, replace worn cones, bearings or safety cables as needed, and wind the springs to the correct turns.
- Balance and test: We check that the door holds at mid-travel, lubricate the moving parts, run the opener through several cycles and test its safety reversal.
- Stand behind the work: Your new springs carry the manufacturer warranty, and we guarantee our workmanship.
Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Replacement
- A loud bang from the garage, often when nobody is using the door
- A visible gap between the coils of the torsion spring above the door
- The door won't lift, or the opener hums and stops just off the floor
- The door feels very heavy when you lift it by hand
- An extension spring looks stretched, with open coils even when the door is closed
Experienced Garage Door Specialists — Ready When You Need Us
Garage Door Spring Replacement Services We Provide
Torsion Spring Replacement
We replace broken or fatigued torsion springs on single-spring and multi-spring setups, winding each to the correct turns for your door.
Extension Spring Replacement
We replace extension springs along the horizontal tracks in pairs and inspect the pulleys, clips and cables they connect to.
Matched Pair Spring Replacement
When one spring breaks, the other has usually done the same cycles and is close behind. Replacing both keeps the door balanced.
Spring Sizing by Wire Gauge, Inside Diameter, Length and Wind
We weigh and measure the door, then select springs by wire gauge, inside diameter, length and left or right wind direction.
High-Cycle Spring Upgrades
Busy households and commercial doors wear through standard springs quickly. High-cycle springs use heavier wire and a longer coil to last many more cycles.
Extension to Torsion Spring Conversion
A torsion system gives smoother travel and keeps the springs contained on a shaft. We check headroom and hardware first and recommend conversion only where it suits the door.
Winding Cone, Centre Bearing and End Bearing Plate Replacement
Worn cones, a cracked centre bearing or a dry end bearing plate shorten the life of new springs, so we replace them during the job when they show wear.
Extension Spring Safety Cables
A safety cable through each extension spring contains the pieces if it breaks. We install or replace them on every extension spring job.

Garage Door Spring Replacement FAQs
How often should aHow much does garage door spring replacement cost in Ottawa? garage door be serviced?
The price depends on the type of spring, how many springs your door uses, the weight of the door and whether you choose standard or high-cycle springs. Worn cones, bearings or cables can also add to the job. We inspect the door, explain what it needs and give you a free, upfront quote with no hidden fees before any work begins.
Should both garage door springs be replaced at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Springs on the same door usually go in together and complete the same number of cycles, so when one breaks the other is close to failing. Replacing them as a matched pair keeps the door balanced, reduces strain on the opener and avoids a second service call a short time later.
How long do garage door springs last?
Spring life is measured in cycles, and one cycle is a full open and close. Standard torsion springs are commonly rated around 10,000 cycles, which lasts several years for a typical household. Busy homes and commercial doors use up those cycles faster, which is why we often recommend high-cycle springs for them.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We advise against it. Garage door springs hold enough tension to lift the entire door, and winding or unwinding them requires proper winding bars, the correct spring specifications and training. A slipped bar or a wrongly sized spring can cause injury or damage. Keep the door closed and call a trained technician to handle the replacement.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
It’s best not to. Without the spring’s counterbalance, the door is extremely heavy, and the opener can strain its motor or gears trying to lift it. The door can also drop suddenly. Leave it closed if possible, keep people and cars clear, and call us so we can secure the door and replace the springs.
