Same-Day Broken Spring Repair in Orlando & Central Florida
A broken garage door spring means your door isn't going anywhere — until we arrive. We replace torsion and extension springs safely, same-day.
A snapped garage door spring is one of the most common — and most urgent — garage door problems homeowners face. Springs are responsible for counterbalancing the full weight of your door. When one breaks, the door becomes too heavy to lift manually and the opener can't safely operate it. Affix Garage Door Service provides same-day spring repair throughout Orlando, Oviedo, Sanford, and all Central Florida communities. We use high-cycle commercial-grade springs and back every replacement with a parts and labor warranty.
Signs You Need This Service
- Loud bang or pop sound from the garage (often heard inside the house)
- Garage door won't open — feels extremely heavy when lifted manually
- Opener runs but the door barely moves or only moves a few inches
- A visible gap in the spring coil or cable hanging loose on one side
- Door is crooked or sits lower on one side than the other
- Spring has a visible crack or appears stretched out and thin
- Door opens with effort but slams shut when released
What We Fix
Torsion Spring Replacement
The most common type — mounted above the door. We replace single or double torsion springs with correctly-sized, high-cycle units.
Extension Spring Replacement
Side-mounted springs found on lighter single-car doors. Replaced in pairs to ensure balanced operation.
Spring Tension Adjustment
Worn springs that haven't broken yet but are causing imbalance — we adjust tension to restore smooth, safe operation.
Cable & Drum Inspection
A broken spring often stresses cables and drums. We inspect and replace those components when needed.
Safety Cable Installation
Extension springs without safety cables are a hazard. We install them if yours are missing.
Full Door Balance Test
After every spring replacement we test balance, limit switches, and opener force to ensure safe operation.
Why Professional Repair Matters
Garage door springs store enormous mechanical energy — enough to cause serious injury or death if they fail or are handled incorrectly. This is not a DIY repair. Professional technicians use winding bars, safety glasses, and proper torque techniques to replace springs without risk. We also ensure the new springs are correctly sized for your door's weight, preventing premature failure and protecting your opener motor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does broken spring repair cost in Orlando?▾
Spring replacement in the Orlando area typically depends on the spring size, type (torsion vs. extension), and whether other hardware needs replacement. We always provide a free estimate before starting work.
Can I still open my garage door with a broken spring?▾
Your door can be opened manually in an emergency by pulling the red emergency release cord — but doing so repeatedly risks damaging your opener and cables. We recommend calling for repair and avoiding use until the spring is replaced.
Should both springs be replaced at the same time?▾
If your door has two torsion springs and one breaks, we recommend replacing both. Springs are typically installed at the same time and experience the same wear. Replacing only the broken one often means the second fails within a few months.
How long do garage door springs last?▾
Standard springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open plus one close). For an average household using the door 4–6 times per day, that's roughly 4–7 years. We install high-cycle springs rated for 20,000–30,000 cycles for longer service life.
Do you replace springs on the same day you diagnose the problem?▾
Yes. We carry the most common spring sizes on our service trucks, so the majority of spring replacements are completed during the initial visit without a return trip for parts.
