FAQ

Spring Replacement Questions

Can I use my garage door with a broken spring?
No — never operate a garage door with a broken spring. The opener is not designed to lift the full weight of the door and can be damaged or burned out. The door itself could also drop unexpectedly, causing injury or damage.
How long does spring replacement take?
Most spring replacements are completed in 45–90 minutes. Our techs carry common spring sizes on every truck, so we rarely need to order parts.
Should I replace both springs at the same time?
Yes — we strongly recommend replacing both springs simultaneously, even if only one is broken. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one breaks, the other is likely to fail soon. Replacing both saves a second service call and is more cost-effective.
How long do replacement springs last?
Standard springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles (about 7–10 years with average use). We offer upgraded high-cycle springs rated for 20,000+ cycles for customers who want longer-lasting performance.
How much does spring replacement cost in Ottawa?
Spring replacement typically ranges $150–$350 depending on spring type, quantity, and if additional components (cables, drums) need attention. We provide a written quote before starting any work.
