Broken Spring Replacement
Always replace both springs if your system uses two—if one broke, the other is likely worn. Take a picture of the spring setup before starting. Count the exact number of turns when unwinding and winding the springs Would you like help identifying the correct replacement spring or a step-by-step guide tailored to your specific garage door setup?
No garage door system can function without quality springs, making them one of the most important components of this system.
Disconnect the Power & Secure the Door
Unplug the garage door opener. Use locking pliers/clamps to secure the door in the down position.
Release Tension from the Broken Spring
Insert a winding bar into one of the winding cone holes. Do this slowly and cautiously to avoid sudden releases.
Remove the Broken Spring
Unbolt the spring from the center bracket. Slide the spring off the torsion bar.
Install the New Spring
Slide the new spring onto the torsion bar. Reattach it to the center bracket. Make sure the winding cone is on the correct side.
Wind the Spring
Use winding bars to add the correct number of turns (usually noted by the spring manufacturer). Each full turn increases tension—follow guidelines for your door size.
