Types of Springs We Repair and Install
We offer expert spring repair services for torsion and extension springs, two of the most common types used in garage doors. Understanding the unique features of each can help you recognize issues with the door to your garage and know when to call for professional assistance.
Whether you’re searching for garage doors in Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area, or need professional help with commercial garage door repair, we can help.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are well-known for their smooth operation and durability. They are installed horizontally above the door and work by storing mechanical energy when wound tightly. When the door opens, the springs are released, and the door is lifted. Due to their strength and long lifespan, these springs are ideal for heavier doors.
When a torsion spring is damaged, the door may become difficult or impossible to lift, as the spring can no longer store the necessary mechanical energy. This can lead to uneven movement, excessive strain on the door opener, or even cause the door to remain stuck in place.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are installed along the sides of the garage door tracks and stretch as the door opens. These springs are a great choice for lighter doors. They are slightly more affordable than torsion springs but require more frequent maintenance due to their shorter lifespan.
When an extension spring is damaged, the door may open unevenly or fail to stay in place, as the spring loses its ability to provide the necessary counterbalance. This can also increase the risk of the door slamming shut unexpectedly, posing a safety hazard.
Looking for reliable garage door spring repair near me? Your search stops with We Fit It Garage Door & Gates Repair. We not only help you with your repair needs but also perform spring installation if necessary.
The flawless operation of the door to your garage depends on its springs. They bear the door’s weight and make it easy to open and close. When these springs experience problems, various issues can arise.
While it might be tempting to attempt spring replacement yourself, leaving this task to the professionals is the best option. Springs are under great tension, and mishandling them could result in major injury. At We Fit It Garage Door & Gates Repair, our technicians can help you fix any issue that affects your garage door, from spring or cable repair or even cable installation.
Here’s a look at common spring issues and how our expert services can resolve them.
Difficulty Opening or Closing the Door
If your garage door is hard to lift or doesn’t fully open or close, the issue may be with the springs. Damaged or weakened springs disrupt the balance of the door. We resolve this by installing new, high-quality springs, ensuring your door operates smoothly and is easy to handle.
Loud or Strange Noises
Loud banging or squealing noises during operation often indicate worn-out springs. These sounds suggest the springs are failing and need attention. Our solution is to replace the old springs with new ones and lubricate them properly, eliminating noise and restoring quiet, efficient operation.
Disbalanced Movement or Door Falls Quickly
An unevenly moving door or one that falls too quickly indicates spring imbalance. This can be dangerous and affect door functionality. We address this by installing new, balanced springs, ensuring even movement, and proper door operation to enhance safety and performance.

We make the process of spring repair seamless and stress-free. When you call us, here’s what you can expect:
- Assessment: Our technician will evaluate your garage door to determine the damage to the torsion or extension springs.
