Broken Torsion Spring? Get Same-Day Service in Floral Park

When a garage door torsion spring breaks, the door becomes unsafe, extremely heavy, and often impossible for the opener to lift. H&O Garage Doors has been replacing torsion springs in Floral Park and surrounding Nassau County communities since 2009. For a broader overview of our spring work across New York, visit our broken spring repair page.

We use properly sized, commercial-grade torsion springs, set them to the correct torque, and test every system for balance and safety before we leave. Most Floral Park torsion spring jobs are completed in about 60–90 minutes from arrival.

Warning Signs Your Torsion Spring Needs Replacement

• Loud bang from the garage: Often described as a “gunshot” — usually the moment a torsion spring snaps.
• Door will not open, or only lifts 2–6 inches: The opener is not designed to lift the full door weight without the torsion spring.
• Visible gap in the torsion spring: A clean separation in the coil means the spring has completely failed.
• Door suddenly feels extremely heavy: Manual lifting is difficult or impossible, and the door may slam shut.
• Door looks crooked or jerks on the way up: On two-spring systems, one broken spring throws the entire door out of balance.
• Opener straining or humming: Motor runs but the door barely moves or not at all, often blinking lights or error codes.

Safety note: Do not attempt to force the door open, and never try to unwind or wind torsion springs yourself. The stored energy is enough to cause serious injury or property damage. If you notice any of these issues, you can request a torsion spring service visit online or call us for immediate assistance.

Our 4-Step Torsion Spring Replacement Process

1. Safety & System Inspection (≈15 minutes)
   We secure the door in place, disconnect the opener, and inspect: springs, lift cables, drums, center bearing, rollers, hinges, track alignment, and opener safety sensors.
2. Correct Spring Selection & Installation (≈40–60 minutes)
   We calculate the correct torsion spring size based on door weight, height, track setup, and hardware. Then we:
   • Install one or two new commercial-grade torsion springs (typically 25k-cycle or better)
   • Replace worn cables, bearings, or drums if needed
   • Apply corrosion-resistant coating and professional-grade lubricant
3. Balance & Safety Adjustments (≈10–15 minutes)
   We wind the springs to the correct number of turns, then:
   • Perform manual balance test (door should stay at mid-travel)
   • Set opener up/down force and travel limits
   • Test photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse function
4. Final Testing, Cleanup & Maintenance Tips
   We run several full open/close cycles, confirm smooth operation, clean the work area, and show you how to visually inspect and lubricate springs between visits.
