Broken springs · St. George, Utah
Broken garage door spring replacement.
Heard a bang? Door won't lift? A broken spring may be the reason. We'll inspect the system, size the right replacement for your door, and explain the price before we start.
No charge to come out.
No after-hours fee. No emergency fee.
What's happening
A small part.
A lot of weight.
The springs counterbalance the door. The opener moves it. When a spring breaks, that balance is lost.
A simplified illustration, not a diagnosis or repair guide.
What you might notice
- A loud bang, then a door that won't lift.
A spring can break with a sharp noise. The door may stop moving normally afterward.
- A visible gap in the coil.
A broken torsion spring can separate above the door. Stay clear; you do not need to touch it to request service.
- A heavy, uneven or struggling door.
The opener may strain or stop. Loose cables or a crooked door also need inspection.
Symptoms are a starting point. We inspect the whole system before recommending the repair.

Sized for your door.
Not just the old spring.
The old spring may not have been the right fit. We start with the door's weight, dimensions and use, then explain the replacement options.
Why springs wear
Open + close = one cycle.
Different springs are rated for different numbers of cycles. Daily use matters; a cycle rating is not a calendar guarantee.
- 01
We weigh the door.
We start with the weight your spring needs to support, rather than assuming the old spring was right.
- 02
We measure the door.
Width and height help determine the spring specification. Similar-looking doors can need different springs.
- 03
You choose the cycle rating.
10,000 cycles is one example. We explain the available ratings, including higher-cycle options, and how they suit your daily use.
- 04
We calculate the right spring.
Weight, dimensions and cycle rating give us the specification for your door.
- 05
We replace both and test.
On a two-spring system, we replace both springs, then balance the door and check its operation.
There's almost always more than one way to fix a door. We'll show you all of them.

Good work.

One customer's experience with True Lift.
The spring on our garage broke, and Chris came out to fix it late in the evening. I highly recommend True Lift; they are efficient and fairly priced.
A few things worth knowing
Questions about broken springs.
Still unsure what the door needs?
Call 435-900-4557When one spring breaks we replace both — they share a cycle life, and the second is already near the end of it. We explain the condition of the spring system before you approve the work.
No. Springs come in different cycle ratings, including higher-cycle options. The right choice depends on your door and how often you use it. We explain the available options before you choose.
We calculate the correct spring for your specific door — weight, width, height and cycle rating — instead of matching whatever was on it. See our five-step explanation above.
A broken spring is one possible cause, but opener and other door-system problems can produce similar symptoms. You do not need to diagnose it yourself. Stop using the door and let us inspect the system. Explore opener service.
Do not attempt to lift or repair a door with a suspected broken spring. Call for help. Keep people and vehicles clear of the opening. If a vehicle is trapped inside, tell us when you call. Call 435-900-4557 ↗
We carry the common parts on the truck. The spring your door needs depends on the system. We inspect it and explain the replacement options and availability before you approve the work.
