A loud bang from the garage and a door that suddenly feels far too heavy almost always means a broken spring. The springs do the lifting, so when one fails the door can weigh over 90 kilograms with almost nothing holding it up. A1 Plus Door Systems replaces broken torsion and extension springs on homes and businesses across Winnipeg, usually the same day.

Signs your spring has failed
- A loud bang from the garage (a snapping spring is startlingly loud)
- The door will not open, or lifts a few inches and stops
- A visible gap or separation in the torsion spring above the door
- The door feels extremely heavy by hand, or slams down fast
- The opener strains, hums or lifts the door crooked
Torsion and extension springs
There are two spring types. Torsion springs sit on a metal bar above the door, do most of the work on modern doors, and last longer. Extension springs run along the tracks on either side. We replace both, and we match the correct size and cycle rating for your door. Springs are installed in pairs, so if one has broken we recommend replacing both, because the second one is usually close behind.
Why springs break in Winnipeg
Springs are rated for a set number of open-and-close cycles, and they wear out with normal use. Winnipeg speeds that up. Deep cold makes spring steel more brittle, freeze-thaw swings add stress, and rust from road salt and humidity weakens the coils. A spring that might last years in a mild climate often gives out sooner here, usually on the coldest morning of the year.
A broken spring is often not the only problem
When a spring lets go it can strain the cables, rollers and opener as they take load they were never meant to carry. While we are there we check the cables, rollers and track, and test the opener. Staying ahead of it with regular maintenance catches a tiring spring before it snaps. If your door has already come off its track after a spring failure, our off-track door guide walks through what to do.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still use my garage door with a broken spring?
No. With a broken spring the door is dangerously heavy and can drop. Do not force it open with the opener or by hand. Leave it and call for repair.
Should I replace one spring or both?
Both. Springs are installed as a matched pair and wear at the same rate, so replacing both now saves you a second breakdown and a second service call within months.
How long does spring replacement take?
Most spring replacements are finished in about one to two hours once the technician is on site, and we test the full door before leaving.
Why do springs seem to break in winter?
Cold makes spring steel more brittle and adds stress to coils that are already near the end of their cycle life, so a spring that was close to failing tends to give out on a very cold day.
Is it safe to replace a garage door spring myself?
No. Springs hold extreme tension and require winding bars and training to handle safely. Spring work is the job we most strongly recommend leaving to a technician.
