If your garage door suddenly refuses to open or makes a loud snap sound, chances are a spring has broken. For homeowners in Etobicoke, a broken garage door spring can disrupt your day — whether you’re heading out to the Gardiner Expressway, dropping the kids off at Humber College, or running errands along The Queensway. At Motion Garage Doors, we specialize in garage door spring replacement in Etobicoke, restoring safety, balance, and convenience to your home quickly and professionally.
Why Garage Door Springs Matter
Garage doors can weigh between 150 and 300 pounds. Springs play the critical role of counterbalancing that weight, making it possible for the opener (or your hands) to lift the door safely. When a spring fails, the door becomes heavy, unbalanced, and potentially dangerous to operate.
There are two main types of springs:
- Torsion Springs – Mounted above the door, known for durability and smoother operation.
- Extension Springs – Installed along the horizontal tracks, often found in older systems.
At Motion Garage Doors, we primarily install high-cycle torsion springs — built for long-term reliability and suited to Etobicoke’s fluctuating weather conditions.
Common Signs Your Springs Need Replacement
Homeowners in Etobicoke often notice one or more of these issues before realizing their spring has failed:
- The garage door won’t open, even though the opener runs
- The door lifts unevenly or jerks when opening
- You hear a loud bang from the garage
- The spring looks visibly stretched, cracked, or separated
- The opener struggles or makes grinding noises
If you experience any of these signs, stop using your garage door immediately. Continuing to operate it can cause damage to the opener or risk injury.
