QUICK ANSWER
Garage door springs are under tension, and a broken one can drop the door. Do not wind, pry, or unbolt it. Call Atlas at (714) 844-1751 and we will match a replacement to the door and test the lift.
The homepage lists spring repair as its own service, and the broken-spring offer on that page is the only discount we publish for this job.
Why springs fail on Anaheim doors
Daily cycles add up
Every open and close spends part of the spring’s life. A busy household reaches the end sooner.
Heat and dry air
Inland Anaheim heat dries lubricant and makes a tired spring snap instead of easing down.
The wrong size after a heavier door
New panels or a heavier door need a spring matched to the new weight, or the next spring fails early.
HOW ATLAS FIXES IT
We measure the spring that is on the door, bring the matching part, and replace it without asking you to touch the cones. Then we balance the door and check the opener so it is not lifting dead weight.
Get today’s priceWhy both springs often get replaced together
Many two-car doors use a pair of torsion springs. When one snaps, the other has lived the same number of cycles. We will say so on the estimate if replacing the pair avoids a second visit. Cables that rode with the broken spring are checked at the same time. See rollers and cables.

Questions about spring repair
Is a broken spring dangerous?
Yes. The spring is under tension. Do not loosen the set screws. Call and leave the hardware alone.
Do you replace one spring or both?
We will say on the estimate if the second spring has the same wear. Many two-car doors are better with both replaced in one visit. That is a recommendation, not a hidden fee.
