Book Your Spring Replacement Today
Fix One provides comprehensive spring replacement solutions tailored to every garage door type in Scarborough. Whether you have a single-car door with extension springs or a heavy double-car door requiring torsion springs, our technicians arrive equipped with the right parts. Additionally, we match spring specifications precisely to your door’s weight for optimal balance and longevity.
Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door header and provide the counterbalance force needed to lift heavy doors smoothly. When a torsion spring breaks, the door becomes inoperable and potentially dangerous. Our technicians safely remove the failed spring and install a new one calibrated to your door’s exact weight. Moreover, we perform a full tension adjustment to ensure balanced lifting on both sides.
Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of your garage door. These springs stretch and contract with every cycle, making them prone to fatigue over time. A broken extension spring creates an imbalance that strains your opener and cables. We replace both springs simultaneously to maintain even tension and restore reliable performance. In addition, we install safety cables to contain the spring if it breaks in the future.
Standard garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles. However, high-cycle springs are engineered with superior steel that withstands 25,000 to 100,000 cycles. This upgrade is ideal for Scarborough homeowners who use their garage door multiple times daily. Consequently, you enjoy fewer replacements, lower long-term costs, and greater peace of mind. We recommend high-cycle upgrades for every spring replacement.
If your garage door is showing repeated wear despite regular maintenance, replacement may be the smarter long-term investment.
Fix One follows a proven process for every garage door spring replacement in Scarborough. First, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify the spring type, door weight, and any secondary damage. Next, we secure the door and safely release all remaining tension. Then, we install new springs matched precisely to your door’s specifications. Finally, we test the door through multiple cycles and adjust the balance until operation is flawless.

The most obvious sign is a loud bang from the garage followed by the door refusing to open. You may also notice a visible gap in the spring coil above the door header. Additionally, the door might feel extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. If your opener runs but the door barely moves, a broken spring is the likely cause. Contact Fix One immediately for a safe inspection.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. Torsion springs in particular require specialized tools and training to remove and install safely. Furthermore, incorrect spring sizing can damage your door or opener. Therefore, we strongly recommend hiring a certified technician from Fix One for all spring replacements.
A standard spring replacement typically takes between 45 minutes and one hour. However, if both springs need replacement or additional hardware is damaged, the job may take slightly longer. Our Scarborough technicians arrive fully equipped, so most replacements are completed in a single visit without delays.
Yes, replacing both springs simultaneously is highly recommended. When one spring breaks, the other has endured the same number of cycles and is likely near failure. Replacing only one spring creates an imbalance that stresses your opener and hardware. Moreover, replacing both at once saves you the cost of a second service call in the near future.
The cost depends on the spring type, door size, and whether you choose standard or high-cycle springs. Extension spring replacements are generally less expensive than torsion springs. Fix One provides transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your specific garage door setup.
Standard springs last approximately 7 to 10 years with average use of about four cycles per day. High-cycle springs can last 15 to 25 years under the same conditions. Factors like Scarborough's cold winters can accelerate wear due to metal contraction. Regular maintenance and lubrication help extend spring life significantly.
You should avoid operating your garage door with a broken spring. Doing so places excessive strain on the opener motor and can damage cables, brackets, and tracks. Additionally, the door may fall unexpectedly, posing a serious safety hazard. Disconnect the opener and keep the door closed until a Fix One technician completes the repair.
