A homeowner in Springfield, NE, called Omaha Garage Door Repair when their garage door got stuck mid-open. We arrived in less than half an hour and found the culprit—a broken garage door spring. Years of wear and lack of routine upkeep had finally taken their toll. To fix it, we opted for a full garage spring repair, replacing both springs with better quality. After testing the door for balance and smooth operation, we left the system working like new.
The springs on your garage door do a lot of heavy lifting. When the door opens or closes, the springs take in and let out tension. Without regular maintenance, they wear out faster. In this case, one spring had already snapped, and the other showed clear signs of damage—rust, stretched coils, and fatigue.
We told the homeowner that it was not a good idea to change only one spring. Uneven tension can cause another failure fast. To prevent that, we recommended replacing both springs. This way, the door would remain balanced and last longer with the new torsion springs in place.
Once we got the client’s approval, we removed the two garage door springs on each side. Then, we replaced both with new, long-lasting, high-cycle garage door springs. After installation, we rebalanced the door and tested it several times to ensure smooth, quiet movement.
The result? A perfectly working garage door. No strange noises, no jerky motion—just smooth operation. The Springfield homeowner said it felt like a brand-new door.
