A broken spring can leave your car trapped in the garage.
A door that felt normal yesterday may suddenly refuse to lift or move unevenly. The opener may still make a sound even though the door stays down.
Continuing to operate it can place strain on other parts of the system. If you see a spring gap or the door becomes unusually heavy, stop using it and arrange an inspection.
Leave spring work to a trained technician. Call Alvaro’s for garage door spring repair, and have the spring system and related hardware inspected before approving the repair estimate.

Google4.9/5100+ reviewsQuestions about our garage door spring repair service.
What are common signs of a spring problem?
A door may become unusually heavy, lift unevenly, or fail to open. Those symptoms can have more than one cause, so an inspection is needed.
Can I use the opener with a suspected broken spring?
No. Stop operating the door and call our team. Forcing it can strain the opener and other hardware.
Can I adjust the spring myself?
No. Don’t adjust or loosen spring hardware yourself. Springs are under tension and require a trained technician with the right tools. Read DASMA’s garage door safety guidance.
Should the cables be checked too?
Yes. The cables and springs work together to support the door, so both should be inspected. Ask your technician to explain any related repairs.
Does a broken spring mean I need a new opener?
Not necessarily. The spring system and opener do different jobs, and both need checking if the opener has struggled. Replacing the opener alone won’t correct a spring fault.
Should both springs be checked if only one breaks?
Yes. Both springs and the lifting hardware should be inspected. For a door with two springs, DASMA recommends replacing both when one breaks. Your technician can explain what your door needs.
Can I choose a spring based only on its appearance?
No. A replacement has to suit the door and spring system. Let a trained technician identify the correct spring rather than selecting one because its size or color looks similar.
What details should I give when requesting spring repair?
Describe whether the door is stuck, lifting unevenly, or unusually heavy, and mention any loud bang or visible spring gap. Don’t operate the door again or touch the spring to confirm the fault.
How do I keep the area safe before the visit?
Keep people, pets, and vehicles away from the door’s path. Leave spring hardware alone and tell our team if the door is partly open or blocking your only vehicle exit.
Do you serve my town?
We serve Fairfield County from Monroe. Call with your town and address so we can confirm service at your property.
