Built for the Desert: High-Cycle Spring Replacement

Don't settle for cheap builder-grade parts. Get springs rated for 25,000+ cycles.

The "Muscle" of Your Garage Door

The garage door spring lifts 90% of the door's weight. When it breaks, your door becomes 300+ lbs of dead weight. In Las Vegas, builders often install "Standard Cycle" springs rated for only 10,000 cycles. We exclusively install High-Cycle Oil-Tempered Springs rated for 25,000+ cycles.

⚠ Signs Your Spring is Broken

💥 The Loud Bang

Did it sound like a gunshot? That was the metal coil snapping instantly under tension.

The visible Gap

Look above your door. If the spring coil has a 2-inch separation, it is broken.

🏋️‍♂️ Too Heavy to Lift

If you pull the emergency cord and can't lift the door easily, the spring is gone.

The "High-Cycle" Upgrade Difference

  • 25,000+ Cycles: Rated to last 2-3x longer than standard springs. For a family of four, this adds years of life.
  • Oil-Tempered Steel: Heat-treated to resist the brittle-inducing effects of the dry Vegas desert air.
  • Precision Balancing: We weigh your door on-site to cut the spring to the exact tension required.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I replace the spring myself to save money?

Safety Warning: We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Torsion springs are under immense tension—enough to cause severe injury or loss of fingers. Our technicians use specialized winding bars and safety protocols to handle this safely.

❓ Why did my spring break unexpectedly?

Springs are rated by "cycles" (one open + one close = one cycle). Once a metal spring exceeds its cycle rating, metal fatigue sets in, and it can snap at any moment, regardless of how well you maintained it.

❓ Should I replace both springs if only one broke?

Yes. Since both springs were likely installed at the same time and have lifted the door the same number of times, the second spring is likely near the end of its life cycle as well. Replacing both saves you a second service call fee later.

❓ How long does the replacement take?

Most spring replacements are completed in under an hour. Our trucks are fully stocked with all common spring sizes, allowing us to finish the job in a single visit without needing to order parts.
