The Ultimate Guide to Garage Door Spring Repair in Toronto


Introduction: Why Garage Door Springs Matter

Garage door springs are the unsung heroes of your garage system.
They counterbalance the door’s weight, making it easy to open and close smoothly.

When springs fail, your door becomes heavy, jerky, or downright dangerous.


Types of Garage Door Springs

Understanding the two main types helps identify issues:

Torsion Springs

  • Located above the door
  • Twist to create tension
  • Ideal for heavier doors

Extension Springs

  • Located along the sides of the door
  • Stretch to support lifting
  • More common in lighter residential doors

Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Repair

Watch out for these warning signs:

  • Door slams shut unexpectedly
  • Visible gaps in the spring coils
  • Loud bang from the garage
  • Crooked or uneven door when moving
  • Difficulty opening the door manually

Ignoring spring issues is dangerous — never delay repairs!


Dangers of DIY Spring Repairs

We can’t stress this enough:
⚠️ Never attempt spring repairs yourself!

  • Springs are under extreme tension
  • Wrong handling can cause serious injury
  • DIY mistakes often cost more to fix later

Always trust trained pros like Legacy Garage Doors.
