One of the most critical components in a garage door assembly is the spring system, which includes either torsion or extension springs, along with cables and pulleys. This system helps the door open and close safely and easily every time the opener is used.

If your garage door isn’t opening or closing properly, a broken spring might be the cause. Getting a garage door spring replacement is vital because worn springs can suddenly snap, causing the door to fall unexpectedly and putting you at risk.
For homes and businesses, our team can handle garage door spring repair or replacement efficiently to restore your door’s full function. Count on us for fast, dependable service that keeps your garage door operating safely.
Torsion springs are strong springs attached to a metal rod above the garage door. They twist and coil when force is applied, and they work with cables and pulleys to help the door open and close. Usually, these springs last for around 10,000 uses.
Extension springs are lightweight springs that run along the top of the door, positioned above the horizontal tracks. They work by stretching out when the door opens.
Like torsion springs, extension springs need cables, pulleys, and safety cables. They usually last between 5,000 and 10,000 uses.
A cycle is when the garage door opens and then closes completely. For instance, if a typical household opens and closes the door four times a day, a standard 10,000-cycle torsion spring will last about seven years, while high-cycle springs can last twice as long. The more you use your garage door, the faster the springs wear out, making garage door spring replacement essential. Here’s a helpful guide to follow.
When you need to repair garage door springs, it's often best to replace both of them. Since they have similar lifespans, if one spring breaks, the other is likely to fail soon after.
Replacing garage door springs, whether torsion or extension, can be risky, so it's best to leave it to the experts. Always hire a professional technician for garage door broken spring repair.

If you think a garage door spring in Phoenix is broken, stop using your door right away to avoid damaging it or the opener. Continuing to operate it can lead to property damage or personal injury. Also, if the door is open when the spring breaks, do not disconnect the opener, as this may cause the door to fall suddenly. Unplug the opener from the power source until the garage door spring repairs are complete.
Knowing when to repair garage door springs versus get replacements can help you maintain safety and functionality. If your door is making unusual noises, lifting unevenly, or has minor damage, a repair might be all you need to get it back on track.
However, if you notice that the springs are visibly worn, the door is too heavy to lift, or it won’t stay open, it’s likely time for a replacement. Taking care of these issues quickly improves your door’s performance and keeps your home or business safe.
If you’re experiencing any of these signs, don’t wait; contact Overhead Door Company of Maricopa & Pinal County today for expert assistance. Our skilled team is here to help you achieve a garage door that operates efficiently and enhances your property's security.

Great Guys and Great Work
The tech was on time to the second I think, very professional and super nice Chris – nice work my friend! The opener they selected for me is a terrific and great price, Wifi and the myQ app are great as well.
They sent someone out right away at 4:30pm on a Monday. Tre was our technician and did an amazing job getting our door back to working condition without breaking the bank. I will always suggest them to anyone who asks.
For the past few months, my garage door would not shut. It will close halfway get stuck and the motor would bring it back. Not to mention it sounded like a blender filled with nails while closing and opening. Finally decided to get it to check out and these guys were the first to respond. Had an appointment sent within 15 min. A technician named Jimmy came over the next day and got it all done. My garage door never sounded so silent and go down as smooth once new parts were added. Definitely will be recommending these guys!
This company is very responsive, contacted them on a Sunday night and they replied right away. Then set an appointment at a time convenient for me.
Very polite and easy to work with. Travis, the owner, is hands-on.
I had an extremely positive experience with this company, and I have to praise Michelle in the front office for her patience and customer service attitude.
When my 20-year-old Liftmaster garage door opener began to fail, I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching new openers and my options. The logicboard wasn’t working – so the unit still moved the door up and down, but responded only to the wall switch and not the remote. While that was inconvenient, I had time to look around.
After months of exploration and repeated estimates, when I finally decided on a model, they didn’t have it in stock. Michelle quickly located one and offered an appointment the next business day.
The technician who showed up, Zach, was relatively new, but assured me that he had great training and mentoring by the company. And so far, I am very pleased with the work. I thought he was polite, clean, well-skilled, and astute — and at my request, also diagnosed and repaired a squealing in the door. The door is quiet and the alignment is good.
I would definitely have them back for any additional work! (which I hope doesn’t happen soon!)
When it was time to change the garage door, we called these pros for help, and they responded to our needs immediately.
The team arrived exactly when they said they would, and explained everything they were going to do, along with different options for me. It took them an hour to complete the job, and it was amazing! Very precise and clean!!!
Will use them again for all my garage door needs!
Honestly, I haven’t had such great customer service in years. From the first phone call to the minute they left I never felt pressured, a hard sell or that I was being sold something I didn’t “need”. So informative and honest. So refreshing!! The background checks their employees for safety. They text/email your appointment time, when the technician is on the way, and the estimate. Makes the whole experience a positive one. Thanks, Travis, Chris, and Cody. Keep up the great work. You prove that great customer care is still important.
We were so thrilled with the excellent quality of service and quick response we received yesterday. Jimmy Tafoya was quick, honest, and pleasant. The door went off the rails so we called on a Saturday afternoon for emergency service. He fixed the problem in 2 hours. We thought we would need a new door it was so screwed up but he fixed it very well at a lower cost. We are very thankful.
My hinge was bent. Jay came out the same day. Repaired and realigned. Very efficient, knowledgeable, and did a great job. Would definitely call again for garage needs.
I wish this company provided other random services because I would use them for anything!
I sent a request for a quote via Yelp at 3:56 pm and received a reply from Travis at 3:57 pm. He said he could have a technician to my home between 4-6 pm That Day! Like within the next 2 hours. Before I committed, though I had to ask a few questions. First, could the technician please wear a mask and gloves because we have high-risk people in our home during Covid? Answer – no problem at all. Second, could you provide a ballpark estimate based on my description of the problem? Yup!
I then received a text with my appointment confirmation, and 20 minutes before the technician arrived, I received a lengthy text with a photo, background check information, and instructions on what to expect when he arrives. Then Jay called personally to let me know to expect him.
When he arrived, he looked at the job, gave me an estimate, and went to work. 20 min later, he was done, with no extra hidden fees. He accepted my credit card verbally so that we didn’t have any close contact.
The garage works perfectly!
