Your Go-To for Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement in Orlando, FL
A broken garage door spring doesn't give much warning, and it tends to fail at the least convenient moment. If you hit the button and nothing happens or the door lurches up a few inches and stops, it's likely a broken spring. When that happens, your garage door won't operate automatically, and trying to repair it yourself or open it manually can be unsafe and may cause additional damage to your system.
Duke's Garage Doors has been providing garage door spring repair in Orlando, Florida, since 2002. Our technicians respond quickly, arrive prepared to diagnose the problem, and give you a clear picture of what your garage door spring repair or replacement will involve. In most cases, we can have your garage door up and running in a single visit. With professional, reliable service, Duke's Garage Doors is your garage door's best friend.
Spring Repair and Replacement in Orlando
Most garage doors use one of two spring systems. Torsion springs sit horizontally above the door opening and use a winding mechanism to help lift the door, while extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side and stretch as the door moves. Over time, both types can wear out and fail, necessitating spring repair or replacement. In Florida, exposure to salt air can also contribute to corrosion and premature wear.
Our technicians are equipped to repair and replace both torsion and extension springs. When we arrive, we'll assess the condition of the spring and the door system as a whole, then determine whether a repair is possible or replacement makes more sense based on the door's age and condition.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring Has Failed
A broken spring doesn't always come with a dramatic snap or loud bang. Sometimes, you'll simply notice that your garage door isn't operating the way it normally does. If something seems off, it's best to have the door assessed before the problem leads to further damage or injury.
Common signs of a broken or failing garage door spring include:
The door won't open, even though the opener is running
The door rises unevenly or one side hangs lower than the other
The door closes faster than it normally does
You can see a gap or separation in the spring coil
You hear a loud bang coming from the garage, even when the door isn't being used
Garage door springs typically last five to 10 years, although their lifespan depends heavily on how often the door is used. A door that opens and closes four or more times a day will put more wear on its springs than one that's only used once or twice daily. If your springs are approaching the five- to 10-year mark, or you've noticed any of these warning signs, it's worth scheduling a professional assessment before the problem gets worse.
When to Repair or Replace Your Garage Door Spring
When we're deciding whether a spring can be repaired or needs to be replaced, we look at a few things, including the spring's age, whether one or both springs have failed, and how often you use your garage door.
If your garage door uses two springs and one breaks, we'll typically recommend replacing both. The second spring has gone through the same amount of use and wear, so replacing it at the same time can help prevent another service call shortly after the first repair.
For homeowners who use their garage doors frequently, we also offer high-cycle springs rated for approximately 50,000 open-and-close cycles. That's more than five times the use of a traditional spring and can provide a longer service life for your garage door system.
Florida's humidity is another consideration. We carry galvanized springs with a corrosion-resistant coating that can better withstand Orlando's climate than bare steel. If you're replacing a garage door spring, we'll help you determine whether this option makes sense for your system.
Why Spring Repair Is Not a DIY Job
Garage door springs store a significant amount of tension. That tension is what helps lift the door, but it also makes broken springs dangerous to handle without the right tools and training. Trying to repair or replace one yourself can result in serious injury.
Our technicians have the training, experience, and professional-grade tools needed to safely handle spring repairs and replacements. Rather than risking a repair that can quickly become more complicated, let a professional diagnose the problem and get your garage door working safely again.
