Garage door springs carry the full weight of the door, working under extremely high tension. They are the most critical part of the garage door system, but at the same time, the most hazardous. A broken garage door spring makes the garage door non operational. Be careful any attempt to use the garage door may lead to injury or property damage, therefore we at Optima Garage Doors offer reliable, affordable, and safe garage door spring repair and replacement for homeowners across Branford, CT and New Haven County. Our highly skilled technicians are fully prepared to address garage door spring issues at the time of service, ensuring that the garage door is restored to full working condition.
Types of Garage Door Springs
Residential garage doors use one of two different spring systems:
Torsion springs - This type is mounted along a metal rod above the garage door, they use torque to lift the garage door and it is the most commonly used type of spring for garage doors.
Extension springs - On the other hand extension springs are mounted along the horizontal rails. They stretch to provide the required torque for the garage door. At Optima Garage Doors, we offer the best garage door spring repair service, regardless of the type of spring.
Signs Your Springs Need Replacement
Garage door springs, like other parts of the garage door, are designed to serve for a long time, there is a limit to the number of times the garage door can be opened and closed. On average, garage door springs can handle up to 10000 cycles. Some of the warning signs that the garage door spring is broken include a loud noise or snap from the garage area, the garage door feeling unusually heavy when manually opened, the garage door opening unevenly or crooked, noticeable gaps or extension of the spring coils, and the garage door opener struggling to move the garage door.
Same Day Emergency Spring Service

We bring a full range of replacement springs with us so we can do it right the first time, in one visit.
High Cycle and Premium Quality Spring Service
At Optima Garage Doors, we do not skimp on quality when it comes to replacing your broken garage door spring. While a basic 10000 cycle spring is a good starting point, we also provide high cycle springs with a rating of 25000 to 50000 cycles or more. While these premium quality springs are a bit more expensive upfront, they will pay for themselves in the end because they last so much longer. It is also a good idea to replace both springs at the same time because if one goes bad, it is likely the other is close behind.
Spring Maintenance to Prolong Spring Life
Regular maintenance of your garage door system is also a good way to extend the life of your garage door springs and prevent unexpected failures. During a maintenance service, we will lubricate your garage door springs to prevent excessive wear and tear, inspect your door system to catch any signs of corrosion and metal fatigue, and ensure your door is properly balanced and your safety system is functioning correctly. It is a good idea to have your garage door system serviced by a professional at least once a year.
