Garage Door Torsion Spring Repair & Replacement in Lakewood, CO
Precision Repairs. Trusted Technicians. Lasting Results.
At Kenco Garage Doors, we specialize in expert torsion spring repairs and replacements that restore strength, balance, and reliability to your garage door system. Torsion springs are the muscle behind the door, handling hundreds of pounds of weight every time you open or close it. When one breaks, the entire system is compromised. That’s where we come in.
We proudly serve Lakewood, CO and surrounding Jefferson County areas with fast, safe, and reliable torsion spring repair services, available same-day or in emergency situations.
How long do torsion springs typically last?
Torsion springs generally last for about 10,000 cycles, which is roughly 7–10 years with average use. Heavy use or lack of maintenance can shorten their lifespan.
Can I still open my garage door if a torsion spring is broken?
It’s not safe to attempt opening your garage door with a broken torsion spring. The door is extremely heavy and trying to lift it could cause injury or damage. Always call a professional for safe handling.
How do I know if the torsion spring is the problem?
Common signs include:
The door only opens a few inches or not at all
A loud snapping sound from the garage
The opener struggles or hums without lifting the door
You see a visible gap in the spring
Can I replace just one torsion spring?
If your garage door has two torsion springs, it’s highly recommended to replace both—even if only one is broken. This ensures balanced performance and prevents premature failure of the second spring.
How much does torsion spring repair cost?
Pricing can vary based on spring size and labor, but Kenco Garage Doors offers transparent, affordable pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a free quote.
Are torsion springs dangerous to repair on your own?
Yes, torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if mishandled. Only trained professionals should attempt repairs or replacements.

What Is a Garage Door Torsion Spring?
Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door on a metal shaft. When the door closes, these springs wind up tightly, storing mechanical energy. When you open the door, that stored energy is released to lift the heavy garage door with ease.
Because torsion springs carry intense pressure, repairs and replacements should only be handled by qualified professionals to avoid serious injury or further damage.
Signs Your Torsion Spring Needs Repair or Replacement
The door won’t open or only opens a few inches
You hear a loud “bang” from the garage (a broken spring)
The door feels unusually heavy when lifting manually
The door is uneven when opening or closing
The cables appear loose or hanging
The opener is straining or humming but the door won’t move
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Kenco Garage Doors immediately. We’ll inspect the spring system and provide a fast, safe solution.

Why Torsion Springs Break
Torsion springs can wear out due to:
Age & usage – Most last about 10,000 cycles (1 cycle = 1 open + 1 close)
Rust & corrosion – Weakens the metal over time
Cold weather – Lakewood winters can cause metal fatigue
Lack of maintenance – No lubrication increases friction and failure
Improper spring sizing – Undersized springs wear out faster
