Garage Door Spring Replacement in Thornhill, ON
A broken garage door spring renders your door unsafe and creates operational challenges. Our Upright Garage Doors & Springs team offers expert spring replacement solutions for customers throughout Thornhill. Our technicians select springs according to door weight specifications to ensure proper lift and balance performance. Our technicians check related components such as cables, rollers, and opener strain before verifying that your system operates safely and smoothly.
Why Garage Door Springs Fail
The springs undergo many thousands of open/close cycles before developing weaknesses, which eventually lead to failure. Common causes include:
- Natural wear from daily use
- Rust or poor lubrication
- Incorrectly sized springs
- The door becomes unbalanced when the weight distribution becomes uneven.
A broken spring causes the door to become extremely heavy or to tilt to one side while preventing complete opening.
Our Spring Replacement Process
Inspect the door system and confirm spring failure.
Match the correct spring type and size to your door’s specifications.
Replace in pairs (torsion or extension) to maintain even balance.
Lubricate and test lift tension.
Inspect cables, rollers, and opener strain to prevent future issues.
The door system inspection confirms the broken spring.

Torsion vs. Extension Springs
- Torsion Springs: Mounted above the door, they provide smoother operation, quieter movement, and longer lifespan.
- Extension Springs: Run along each side of the door, stretching to provide lift. Often found in older setups.
We service and replace both types, and can recommend upgrading to torsion springs for improved reliability.
