What Is Torsion Spring Replacement?
Torsion springs are horizontal springs mounted above the garage door opening. They counterbalance the door's weight. Most Orange County homes use torsion systems. When a spring breaks, the door won't open or slams shut. High-tension makes DIY replacement dangerous. Professional installation with proper winding and safety protocols is required.
About Torsion Spring Replacement in Orange County
Torsion spring replacement is the most frequent garage door repair we perform across Irvine and the 34 cities of Orange County. Torsion springs mount horizontally on a shaft above the door and hold significant tension - the energy that lifts a 150-300 pound door. When one breaks (usually with a loud bang that homeowners often mistake for a gunshot or break-in), the door becomes very heavy, the opener cannot lift it (and trying often burns out the motor), and the door may close hard or refuse to open at all. We carry common spring sizes - .250 and .234 wire diameters in lengths from 24 to 42 inches - on every truck, so most same-day replacements are completed on the first visit. We offer standard springs and high-cycle options (25,000+ cycle springs for heavy-use doors). Replacement is always done in matched pairs even when only one spring broke - the second spring is near identical age and will fail soon. With 8+ years of OC experience, California license #1055150, ACORD insurance, and upfront pricing, we serve all 34 OC cities. Warranty on parts and labor.
