Garage Door Spring Repair Service in Indianapolis, Lebanon and All Central Indiana

When your garage door suddenly won’t open, feels unusually heavy, or you hear a loud bang coming from the garage, broken garage door springs are often the cause. At Northside Garage Door Systems, we provide professional garage door spring repair in Indianapolis, Indiana, delivering fast, safe, and reliable solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout Central Indiana.

Garage door springs are high-tension components that carry nearly the full weight of your garage door, often hundreds of pounds. When a spring fails, the entire system becomes unsafe to operate. Our experienced technicians specialize in same-day spring repair and replacement, restoring safe operation quickly and correctly.

Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of your door, allowing it to open and close smoothly with minimal strain on the opener. Without properly functioning springs, even the best garage door opener cannot operate safely.

The Two Main Types of Garage Door Springs

Torsion Springs

• Mounted above the door on a steel shaft
• Provide controlled, balanced lifting
• Longer lifespan and smoother operation
• Common on modern residential and commercial doors

Extension Springs

• Located along the sides of the door
• Stretch and contract during operation
• Often used on older garage door systems

Both types store extreme amounts of energy, which is why professional repair is essential.

We provide complete spring repair and replacement solutions, including:

• Broken garage door spring repair
• Torsion spring replacement
• Extension spring replacement & adjustment
• High-cycle spring upgrades (25,000–50,000+ cycles)
• Double torsion spring installation for heavier doors
• Spring tension adjustment and calibration
• Door balance testing
• Cable, drum, roller, and track inspection
• Full safety inspection after repair

All replacement springs are high-grade steel, precisely sized to your door’s weight and configuration to ensure long-term reliability and smooth performance.

A door that only lifts a few inches—or feels extremely heavy when lifted manually—often indicates spring failure.

A sudden popping or banging sound is a common sign of a broken torsion or extension spring.

Gaps in coils, stretched springs, rust, corrosion, cracks, or sagging springs mean replacement is necessary.

A door that drops quickly or slams closed is extremely dangerous and typically caused by failed springs.

An unbalanced door, loose cables, or uneven lifting often results from worn or broken springs.

Garage door springs operate under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Attempting DIY spring repair can result in:

• Sudden door slamming shut
• Severe hand, arm, or head injuries
• Damage to the garage door opener
• Bent tracks or broken panels

Our technicians follow strict safety procedures, including balance testing, force checks, and full system inspections, to ensure your door is safe before returning it to service.
