Why You Shouldn’t Replace a Garage Door Spring Yourself — And Why Door Pro America Should Be Your First Call
Your garage door springs might be small in size, but they do the heavy lifting — literally. These tightly wound coils bear the weight of your entire garage door system and are under extreme tension. When they break, many homeowners are tempted to tackle the repair themselves. But trust us: this is not your average DIY project.
The Hidden Dangers of Spring Replacement
1. High Tension = High Risk
Garage door springs are wound under hundreds of pounds of pressure. If handled improperly, they can snap with enough force to cause serious injury or even death. A mistake as simple as using the wrong tool or releasing tension too quickly can send metal flying.

2. One Wrong Move Can Damage Your System
Garage door systems are calibrated to work in sync. Replacing one component incorrectly — especially a spring — can throw off the entire system, damaging the door panels, track, opener, or other components, which means more repairs and more money.

3. Lack of the Right Tools and Parts
Most homeowners don’t have access to professional-grade tools or high-quality replacement springs. Using substandard parts or makeshift tools increases the chance of failure and puts your safety and your home at risk.

4. It’s Not Just About the Spring
Replacing a spring isn’t just a one-step job. A professional technician will inspect the entire system to ensure balance, proper alignment, and smooth operation. Without that, you could be left with noisy operation, uneven lifting, or a door that won’t close properly.
