Garage Door Spring Repair in Tulsa
A garage door spring doesn't wear out politely. It breaks with a bang, usually on a cold morning, and suddenly a 150-pound door won't budge. The spring carries the door's whole weight — which is exactly why replacing one is not a DIY job. A wound torsion spring stores enough force to break a hand.
LiftMax techs replace torsion and extension springs the same day you call, almost always in a single visit. We size the new spring to your door's actual weight rather than guessing from the old part, and we quote the full price before touching a wrench.
Signs your spring is broken or failing
- A loud bang from the garage, then a door that won't lift
- A visible gap in the coil above the door
- The door lifts a few inches and slams back down
- The opener strains or the door feels twice as heavy by hand
How a spring replacement visit works
- Door weighed and measured — spring matched to the door, not the sticker
- Both springs replaced when the door runs a pair, so the fresh one doesn't die early carrying a tired partner
- Cables, bearings and center plate inspected while the springs are off
- Door balanced and cycle-tested before we leave
Questions we hear every week
How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Tulsa?
Most single-spring replacements land in the $180–$350 range depending on spring size and cycle rating; a pair runs less than two separate visits. You get the exact number up front, before any work starts.
Should I replace both springs if only one broke?
If your door runs two springs, yes. They were installed together and have the same mileage — the survivor usually breaks within months, and doing both in one visit saves you a second service call.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?
Don't. The opener isn't built to lift the door's dead weight and you can burn out the motor — or drop the door. Leave it closed and call; same-day service exists for exactly this.
