Types of Garage Door Springs
We specialize in all varieties of garage door spring systems, ensuring your door operates with optimal safety and efficiency. Understanding the differences between spring types helps you make informed decisions about your garage door maintenance and repairs.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs mount horizontally above the garage door opening, storing energy by twisting around a shaft to provide smooth, balanced lifting power for heavy doors. They offer superior durability with a 15,000-20,000 cycle lifespan, making them recommended for most modern installations. Torsion springs are known for their safer operation with contained energy storage, reducing risk during operation and maintenance.
Extension Springs
Extension springs run parallel to horizontal tracks on both sides of the door, operating by stretching and contracting during door movement. They're ideal for lighter residential garage door systems and typically last 10,000-15,000 cycles. Extension springs are common in older garage door installations and are always installed with safety cables to prevent injury in case of breakage, ensuring protection for both property and people.
FAQs About Garage Door Springs
Regular maintenance and prompt attention to garage door spring issues safeguard both your safety and property investment.
How much does garage door spring replacement cost in San Jose?
Garage door spring replacement in San Jose typically costs between $175-$350. Single spring replacement usually ranges from $175-$225, while a complete set of two springs costs $275-$350. Prices vary based on spring type (torsion vs. extension), door weight, and whether additional hardware requires replacement. Commercial-grade springs for heavier doors may cost $50-$100 more. All our spring replacements include adjustment and lubrication service.
How quickly can you replace broken garage door springs in San Jose?
We offer same-day garage door spring replacement throughout San Jose, typically arriving within 2-3 hours of your call. Our service vehicles carry a complete inventory of residential and commercial springs, allowing immediate replacement for most door types. For emergency situations where your vehicle is trapped or security is compromised, we prioritize service with 60-90 minute response times when available.
How long do garage door springs typically last in Bay Area conditions?
In Bay Area conditions, quality garage door springs typically last 7-10 years or approximately 10,000-15,000 cycles (open/close operations). The mild climate in San Jose is favorable for spring longevity compared to regions with extreme temperature fluctuations. However, homes closer to the coast may experience slightly accelerated wear from salt air exposure. Regular maintenance can extend spring life by 1-3 years beyond these averages.
What types of garage door springs do you install and repair?
We install and repair both torsion and extension springs for all residential and commercial garage doors. Our torsion spring options include standard, high-cycle (25,000+ cycles), and specialty springs for oversized or industrial doors. For extension springs, we offer both open-loop and safety-cable-equipped designs. We also provide oil-tempered, galvanized, and powder-coated spring options for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in various environmental conditions.
Is it dangerous to replace garage door springs myself?
Yes, replacing garage door springs yourself is extremely dangerous and strongly discouraged. Torsion springs store massive amounts of energy – enough to cause serious injury or death if they release unexpectedly. Professional technicians use specialized tools, proper safety equipment, and specific training to safely handle and install these high-tension components. Additionally, improper installation can damage your door system or create ongoing safety hazards. Always hire a licensed professional for spring replacements to ensure safety and proper operation.
