About Extension Springs

Safe Extension Spring Replacement

Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on either side of the door and extend as the door closes. They are common on single-car and lighter doors.

Because they are under tension and paired with safety cables, a failed extension spring should be handled by a professional. We replace the spring, inspect the cables and pulleys, and balance the door so it runs smoothly and safely again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Atlantic Ocean Garage Doors to replace our weather strip and they helped us the same day. They even came back to help readjust the garage door after we realized we had a little to much tension on the door to over compensate for the uneven driveway that was out of their control to fix. Michael was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Extension Spring FAQs

Extension Spring Repair Questions

What is the difference between extension and torsion springs?

Extension springs stretch along the side tracks and are common on lighter doors, while torsion springs sit on a shaft above the door and twist. We service and replace both, and we will tell you which your door uses.

Do extension springs need safety cables?

Yes. Safety cables run through extension springs so that if a spring breaks, the pieces cannot fly across the garage. We always check and, if needed, install proper safety cables.

Should both extension springs be replaced together?

Usually yes. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and avoids a second failure soon after, since both springs share the same age and wear.

Is extension spring repair something I can DIY?

We do not recommend it. Even lighter-door springs hold dangerous tension. A trained technician can replace them safely and quickly, often the same day.
