Top-Rated Garage Door Spring Repair in Indianapolis, Indiana


Is your garage door not opening, and it feels too heavy? You likely need garage door spring repair to return your door to working condition.

Garage Door Doctor offers prompt and competitively priced solutions for broken garage door springs. We’ve served the Indianapolis area since 2009.

What Garage Springs Do

Modern garage doors usually weigh at least 150 pounds. Springs help lift the door.

When you close your garage door, the springs store potential energy in the form of tension. When you open it, the springs release this energy and lift the heavy door without issue. When you need torsion spring replacement or repairs, you need a fast solution so you don’t lose access to your garage.

We’re the only provider of spring repair services you’ll need because we find a solution to every issue. Our services include:

  • Inspecting the spring for the type and severity of damage
  • Providing customized solutions for spring repair and replacement
  • Service for both residential and commercial garage doors
  • Adjusting the tension of a loose spring
  • Replace springs beyond repair
  • Testing the door’s balance and operation

If your door requires multiple repairs, we can perform them simultaneously. No matter what garage door problem you have, give us a call.

Signs Your Door Springs Need Repairs

How do you know when you need garage door spring repair?

Problems Opening

When your garage door refuses to open, you have the most obvious sign you need professional spring repair. Without the springs providing the right torsion, your door opener may not have enough power to operate. You may also notice that the door becomes stuck or see it opening in jerks or jumps.

Several issues can prevent your door from opening. When you partner with Garage Door Doctor, we’ll always accurately diagnose the problem and have it fixed in no time.

Concerning Noises

While a garage door doesn’t operate quietly, you’ll recognize an unusual or concerning noise once you hear it. Not every worrying sound indicates a problem with your springs in particular. If you notice any of the following, you likely have a spring problem:

  • Squeaking: Squeaking often indicates a lack of lubrication, and springs are no exception.
  • Grinding: You’ll hear a grinding sound if your opener doesn’t have enough power to move the door. It could also arise from a faulty belt or chain.
  • Popping: Popping usually occurs when your spring breaks. This clearly indicates that you need spring repair.

Visible Damage

Do you see visible damage on your springs? You’ll know without a doubt you need garage door spring repairs. Damage includes any of the following:

  • Rust and corrosion
  • Cracks and splits
  • Loose or disconnected springs
  • Sagging springs
  • Bends in your garage door

Slamming Shut

Did you recently witness your door slam shut? A broken spring doesn’t have the torsion required to close your door slowly. Consider it analogous to lifting a heavy object until your arms grow tired, and you drop it.

Heavy Feeling

Fully functioning torsion springs help keep your door feeling light, even when you open it manually. When your springs break, you might realize your door has more weight than you thought.

Manually open your door a few times annually to test how easily it opens. Even with springs, it won’t feel easy, but it shouldn’t feel impossible to open by yourself.

Unbalanced Door

When your door closes, is one side lower to the ground than the other? This can mean you have a broken spring on one side. A gap in your garage door allows pests inside and destroys the insulation your door provides.
