Garage Door Spring Replacement
Garage Door Spring Replacement in Washington, DC, Maryland & Northern Virginia
Broken garage door springs are one of the most common reasons a door suddenly stops working. KMR Garage Door provides safe torsion and extension spring replacement for homeowners across Washington, DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia using quality components matched to your door.
Garage door springs carry the weight of the door and are among the highest-tension components in the system. When a spring breaks, the door typically becomes too heavy to lift safely and the opener alone cannot move it. Replacing a spring requires specialized tools and training to release and reset tension safely.
We identify your spring type, safely release any remaining tension, remove the broken spring, and install a properly sized replacement. After installation we test door balance and operation to confirm everything moves smoothly and safely.
Spring replacement is not a DIY-appropriate repair. Attempting it without the proper tools and experience can result in serious injury. If you suspect a broken spring, stop using the door and contact us to schedule service.
