Garage Door Spring Repair

Expert Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement

Garage door springs play a crucial role in the safe and efficient operation of your garage door. These springs are responsible for bearing the weight of the door as it opens and closes, working against gravity to allow smooth, controlled movement. When a spring breaks or starts to fail, it can prevent your door from functioning properly—and create a serious safety hazard.

At Pacific Experts, we provide prompt and professional spring repair services throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and surrounding areas. Whether one spring has failed or both need replacing, our trained technicians are equipped to assess the issue and provide the best solution.

Extension Springs

Extension springs are the more common choice for residential garage doors. These springs run along the sides of the door and stretch as the door closes, storing energy that helps lift the door on its next cycle. They’re generally more affordable but tend to have a shorter lifespan compared to torsion springs.

To enhance safety, extension springs are paired with cables that prevent the spring from flying off if it breaks. Despite their cost-effectiveness, they require more maintenance and are more exposed to wear and tear.

Extension Springs – Garage Door Spring Repair Summerlin

Extension Springs are the most common type of garage door springs found in residential homes. When the garage door opens and closes the extension springs are extended to provide leverage to support the movement and weight of the garage door. With any increased weight from the garage door, the springs will extend further to counteract the external weight.

In case of an event where the springs fail because of damage, safety cables which are connected to the springs, will prevent the springs from hyperextending and ripping off the track. The reason extension springs are more common in residential homes is linked to the cost. Extension springs are much less expensive than torsion springs, extension springs have a shorter life span and are less durable.

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and use torque (twisting force) to raise and lower the door. These springs are more durable and offer smoother, more controlled operation. Because they’re installed on a metal shaft and housed in a tube, they’re also less exposed to the elements and damage.

Torsion springs are ideal for heavier doors and commercial settings but are also increasingly popular in modern homes due to their reliability and longer service life.
