A broken garage door spring is the #1 reason doors stop working. Our techs replace torsion and extension springs same-day with heavy-duty hardware — no shortcuts, no upsells.
The opener lifts slightly then the door drops back. This is the most common sign of a broken torsion spring — the opener can't overcome the door's full weight.
Torsion springs snap under extreme tension and make a sound like a gunshot. If you heard a loud bang and your door stopped working — your spring broke.
Try lifting the door manually. A properly balanced door should feel nearly weightless. If it's very heavy, the spring is broken or has lost tension.
If any of these sound familiar — call (951) 499-5533 for same-day service.

Garage door springs are the workhorse of your entire door system. A standard torsion spring lasts about 10,000 cycles — roughly 7–10 years for the average household. When it breaks, the door becomes nearly impossible to lift manually and the opener strains against the full dead weight of the door, risking motor burnout. At Goodies, we replace both springs (even if only one broke) using heavy-duty springs rated for 25,000+ cycles — more than double the standard life. We also inspect cables, drums, and the opener to make sure nothing else was damaged when the spring snapped.
We always replace both torsion springs at the same time. If one has snapped, the other is the same age and equally worn — replacing just one means you'll be calling again within months. Replacing both now saves you a second service call and protects your opener from the stress of an unbalanced door.
Garage door spring replacement is one of the most dangerous DIY repairs a homeowner can attempt. Springs are wound to several hundred pounds of tension — an improperly released spring can cause severe injury or death. OSHA and most garage door manufacturers recommend professional replacement only. Please don't attempt this yourself.
