Springs for Dunwoody doors.

A garage door spring is a wear part. Each open and close is one cycle, and many standard springs are rated for about 10,000 of them. A Dunwoody garage door spring repair is often a matter of age and use, especially on a 1970s house that may still have its first set. A townhome door that opens many times a day reaches that count sooner.

01 / TORSION

Torsion Spring Replacement

Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door and do the lifting. We size them to your door's weight, replace the set together and balance the door afterward.

  • Springs sized to door weight
  • Both springs replaced on two-spring doors
  • 3-year written warranty

02 / EXTENSION

Extension Spring Replacement

Extension springs run along the tracks and stretch as the door closes. We replace them in pairs and check that safety cables are fitted through each one.

  • Safety cables on every pair
  • Pulleys and cables checked
  • 5-year written warranty

03 / SAFETY

Safety Cables and Balance

Extension springs on an older door should have a safety cable through each spring. We check for cables, inspect the pulleys and cables, and balance the door after the repair.

  • Safety cables checked
  • Pulleys and cables inspected
  • Written price before work

Gap in the torsion spring or Door Won't Lift

A visible gap in a torsion coil, a loud bang or a door that stays down can mean a broken spring or another lift-system problem. Don't run the opener or lift the door, and keep people and pets clear.

  • Gap in the torsion spring coil
  • Loud bang from the garage
  • Door feels extremely heavy
  • Cable hanging loose
Stop using it

Door Rises Unevenly or Slowly

A door sagging on one side may have a spring or cable failure. Stop using it: don't run the opener, don't lift or force it, keep everyone clear and call.

  • One side lifts higher
  • Opener strains or hums
  • Door drifts down when stopped
  • Jerky or noisy movement

Spring FAQs

Dunwoody spring questions.

Plain answers about torsion springs, extension springs and wear.

Ask about your springs(678) 271-8918
Cycle count is a major factor, alongside corrosion and condition. Many standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, and one cycle is one open and one close. A door used a few times a day may run for years, while a busy townhome door can reach that count sooner.
The two springs on a door carry the load together and have been cycled the same number of times. If one has gone, the other spring has had similar use and may also be worn. Replacing both keeps the door balanced.
Look above the door. A torsion spring is a coil on a horizontal bar over the opening. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side. Don't touch either one; just tell us which you see when you call about Dunwoody garage door spring repair.
We don't recommend it. Garage door springs hold stored tension that can injure, and torsion springs especially need proper tools and training. A broken spring is a job for a technician, who also balances the door and tests the safety reverse afterward.
A cable runs through the spring and anchors at both ends. If the spring snaps, the cable catches it instead of letting it whip across the garage. Extension springs without a safety cable can fly loose, so we fit them on replacements.
Not necessarily. A technician must check whether the existing springs suit the heavier door. Springs are sized to the door's weight, and the replacement door may weigh more, so a technician checks its actual weight before the springs are matched to it.
