Garage Door Spring Repair in Toronto & the GTA
Trusted, Safe Repair for One of the Most Important Parts of Your Door
Garage door springs carry most of the weight of your door every time it opens and closes. When one breaks, your door can become unsafe, unreliable, or completely unusable. At TBC Garage Doors, we offer expert garage door spring repair in Toronto and the GTA, restoring your door’s balance and performance quickly and safely.
Spring issues should always be handled by trained professionals. These components are under high tension, and improper handling can lead to serious injury or further damage.

Garage Door Spring Repair FAQs
Can I open my garage door if the spring is broken?
It’s not recommended. Doing so can damage your opener or cause the door to fall unexpectedly. If your spring is broken, keep the door closed and call a technician.
How do I know if I have torsion or extension springs?
Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door. Extension springs run along the tracks on the sides. If you're not sure, our technician can identify it during the inspection.
Should I replace both springs if only one is broken?
Yes, in most cases. If the springs were installed at the same time, they will wear at the same rate. Replacing both keeps your door balanced and running smoothly.
How long do garage door springs last?
Most springs last between 7 and 10 years, depending on how often the door is used. High-cycle options are available if you want something longer lasting.
Can I install the garage spring myself?
No. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and should only be handled by trained professionals using the proper tools.
