Garage Door Spring Repair – We’ve Got the Know-How!
Most homeowners first realize they have a problem when they hear a sound like a gunshot coming from the garage.
This is the sound of a high-tension steel spring snapping under thousands of pounds of pressure.

Understanding your spring system is vital for a safe repair. While both systems counterbalance
the weight of your door, they function very differently.
Torsion Springs vs. Extension Springs: What’s the Difference?
Feature
Torsion Springs
Extension Springs
Location
Mounted on a metal bar directly above the door opening.
Mounted along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door.
Operation
Uses torque (twisting) to lift the door.
Uses tension (stretching) to lift the door.
Safety
Contained on a shaft; safer when they break.
Can fly off like a projectile if safety cables are missing.
Durability
Generally lasts 10,000 to 20,000 cycles.
Typically lasts 5,000 to 10,000 cycles.
The lifespan of a garage door spring is measured in “cycles.” One cycle is the door opening and closing once.
Most standard builder-grade springs are rated for 10,000 cycles. For the average Las Vegas family using their garage
3–4 times a day, this equates to roughly 7 to 10 years.
The “Nevada Factor”: In the Las Vegas desert, extreme temperature fluctuations—from 115°F summers
to freezing winter nights—can cause the steel to expand and contract rapidly, leading to premature metal fatigue and snapping.
Transparency is a core value at A+ Garage Doors. While exact pricing depends on the weight of your door and the
