Garage Door Spring Replacement in Northern VA
A broken garage door spring can stop everything in an instant. Whether the door won’t lift, feels unusually heavy, or makes a loud snapping sound, Door Doctor provides fast, safe, and reliable spring replacement you can trust.
When Your Garage Door Spring Breaks, You Need Real Answers Fast
A garage door spring handles nearly all the lifting power of your door. When it breaks, the door becomes too heavy to lift, the opener strains, and any attempt to force it open can lead to serious injury. Most homeowners don’t realize how much tension these springs hold until one snaps and the door refuses to move. That’s when you need help from a trained professional who understands the mechanics, safety risks, and proper replacement process.
At Door Doctor, we diagnose spring failures quickly and install correctly sized, high quality springs that restore safe, balanced operation. We examine your existing hardware, check the door’s weight and condition, and ensure your new springs match your door’s exact requirements. If only one spring breaks, we replace both to maintain equal tension and prevent uneven lifting.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Replace
We work with all major spring types and ensure every replacement is properly matched to your door’s size, weight, and usage.
Torsion Springs
Mounted above the door, torsion springs provide smooth, controlled lifting power. We install durable, long lasting torsion springs sized precisely for your door.
Extension Springs
These springs stretch along the horizontal tracks. When they break, they require immediate replacement. We install high strength extension springs and recommend safety cables when needed.
High Cycle Springs
For homeowners who use their garage door multiple times a day, high cycle springs offer extended lifespan and better long term performance.
Spring System Conversions
If your current spring setup is outdated or unsafe, we can convert it to a modern torsion system for improved reliability and safety.
Why Proper Spring Installation Makes All the Difference
Your garage door springs carry enormous tension. When the wrong size spring is installed or the tension isn’t set correctly, the door becomes unsafe and puts strain on the opener, cables, tracks, and rollers. A properly installed spring system distributes weight evenly, ensures smooth movement, and protects every part of your garage door.
That’s why we never rush spring replacement. We check door balance, test lifting pressure, and make sure the opener and hardware are working together smoothly. Most homeowners notice the difference immediately: the door feels lighter, moves more quietly, and responds more reliably.
A well installed spring doesn’t just fix the problem today — it prevents future breakdowns and keeps your family safe.
