Motor struggling to lift the door? Heard a loud bang in the garage? That's a broken torsion spring — the most common garage door failure in Nashville homes. Signs include the door feeling extremely heavy, a visible gap in the spring coil above the door, or the opener straining and shutting off mid-cycle.
Do not attempt to lift a door with a broken spring manually. The door can weigh 150 to 250 pounds without spring assistance, and forcing it risks injury and further damage to the tracks, cables, and opener. Call us instead — we carry the right springs on the truck and can typically have your door working again within the hour.
We always replace springs in pairs, even if only one has broken. Both springs carry the same wear, and replacing them together keeps the door balanced, protects the opener motor, and saves you a second service call weeks later. Most spring repairs in Nashville run $350 to $500 depending on spring type and door size.
