Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement for Westland homes and businesses
Torsion and extension springs carry the entire weight of the door, so when one snaps the door becomes dangerous to move by hand. Springs are wound under extreme tension and are not a do-it-yourself part. We replace them in matched pairs, size the new set to your door's actual weight and cycle life, and rebalance the door before we leave.
There is no such thing as a convenient time for a garage door to fail in Westland. It happens at 6am when the car is trapped inside, or at 11pm when the door is stuck wide open and everything in the garage is on display. We answer the phone at both of those hours and we give you a real arrival window rather than a vague promise.
Call (888) 904-6236 any hour, or see everything we cover on our Westland garage door page.

Dmitri K.Spring repair & replacement questions, answered
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The clearest sign is a loud bang from the garage, often overnight, followed by a door that is suddenly far too heavy to lift by hand. Look at the torsion spring on the bar above the door: a broken one has a visible two to three inch gap. The opener may also hum and strain without moving the door, or move it a few inches then stop.
Should both springs be replaced if only one broke?
Yes, on a two-spring door. They are installed at the same time and wear at the same rate, so the surviving spring is typically within weeks or months of failing too. Replacing the pair costs far less than paying a second callout, and a mismatched pair puts the door out of balance.
How long do garage door springs last?
Springs are rated in cycles, one cycle being one open and one close. A standard 10,000-cycle spring lasts roughly seven years on a door used four times a day. High-cycle springs rated at 20,000 or more cost modestly more and can double that lifespan, which is usually worth it on a door that is the main entrance to the house.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Westland?
We publish the after-hours rate when you book so there is no ambush on the invoice. Many straightforward evening calls in Westland are charged at the standard rate. If a job can safely wait until morning at a lower price, we will tell you that instead of taking the premium.
My garage door won't open. What should I check before calling?
Pull the red release cord and try lifting the door by hand. If it is extremely heavy or won't budge, you have a broken spring and should stop there. If it lifts easily, the fault is in the opener: check the photo-eye sensors near the floor for a blinking light, obstruction or misalignment, and confirm the opener still has power. Tell us what you found and we can often diagnose it on the phone.
Is a garage door spring something I can replace myself?
No, and this is the one job we ask people not to attempt. Torsion springs are wound under enough tension to break bones or worse if they release unexpectedly, and the winding bars are not interchangeable with screwdrivers or rebar. It is a genuinely dangerous repair and it is priced modestly for that reason.
Need it fixed today?
Tell us what the door is doing and we'll give you a price before anyone drives out. Same-day slots most days in Westland, and someone answers the phone at 2am.
