Your springs do the heavy lifting — literally. They counterbalance a door that can weigh 150 to 350 pounds so your opener only has to guide it. When a spring snaps, the opener no longer has the muscle to lift the weight, so the door stays planted on the floor or only rises an inch or two.
Mounted on a steel shaft above the door. The most common type in Alpharetta homes and the most dangerous to touch — they store hundreds of pounds of force when wound.
Run along the horizontal tracks on either side. When one fails, the door often hangs crooked or drops on one side.
Standard springs are rated for roughly 10,000 cycles. We fit high-quality, high-cycle springs built to last up to 10,000+ open-and-close cycles so you’re not calling us back next year.
A wound spring stores enough energy to break bones or worse if it releases. We replace springs every single day with the right tools and winding bars — it’s safer, faster, and usually cheaper than a hardware-store mistake.
Tell us what the door is doing. We give honest guidance and book the soonest slot — often the same day.
A real technician inspects the springs, cables, opener, and tracks to find the true cause — not just the symptom.
You see clear, upfront pricing and approve it before we touch anything. The $50-off offer is applied here.
We complete the repair, run the door through a full cycle, and walk you through the work before we leave.
In most cases we offer same-day service across Alpharetta and the surrounding Atlanta metro, including evenings and weekends. When you call (770) 530-4619 we’ll give you the soonest realistic arrival window — broken springs and doors stuck open are treated as priority because they leave your home unsecured.
Yes, especially with torsion springs. A wound torsion spring stores hundreds of pounds of force, and if it slips while you’re working it can cause serious injury. It also needs specific winding bars and the correctly sized replacement spring. We replace springs every day with the right tools, so it’s safer, faster, and usually less expensive than buying parts and risking it yourself.
You don’t have to, but if your door uses two springs we usually recommend it. Both springs have gone through the same number of cycles, so when one breaks the other is typically close behind. Replacing the pair on one visit saves you a second service call and another trip fee. We’ll explain the option and let you decide.
That’s almost always the photo-eye safety sensors near the bottom of the tracks. If they’re misaligned, dirty, or blocked, the opener thinks something is in the way and reverses the door for safety. A realignment or cleaning usually fixes it — an inexpensive repair that doesn’t require a new opener.
If only the remote is dead, it’s often a flat battery, a lost program, or an engaged “lock” mode on the wall console. If the wall button is dead but the remote works, it’s usually the wall control or its wiring. If nothing works, the opener may have lost power or have a board fault. We can sort out controls, reprogram remotes and keypads, and replace any failed part.
Most spring replacements run roughly $150–$380 and most opener repairs run roughly $95–$250, depending on your door, parts, and spring rating. We confirm your exact price in person after a free diagnosis and you approve it before any work starts. The current $50-off repair offer is applied at your visit.
