Is Your Garage Door Spring Broken?
Common Signs
WARNING: Do not attempt to force open a door with a broken spring. The door is under significant mechanical stress and can fall suddenly, causing serious injury or property damage. Call ProTouch Garage Doors immediately.

Professional Garage Door Repair in Birmingham, AL
- Torsion springs — mounted on a metal shaft above the door opening. Most common in Birmingham homes with newer or heavier doors. These are under extreme torque and must be replaced by a trained technician.
- Extension springs — mounted on either side of the door along the horizontal tracks. Common on lighter or older doors. When one breaks, the other should typically be replaced at the same time to prevent imbalance.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose ProTouch for Garage Door Repair
- Spring replacement is not a DIY repair. Our technicians are trained to handle torsion and extension springs safely, using the proper tools and procedures. We protect you, your family, and your property.
- An undersized or oversized spring will wear out prematurely and can damage your opener or door. We measure your door properly and install the right spring — not just whatever's on the truck.
- We know a broken spring often means your car is trapped in the garage. We work to get to you quickly and carry common spring sizes so most repairs can be completed the same day.
- We'll tell you if replacing just the broken spring makes sense — or if the door's overall condition suggests it's time to consider a new door. No upselling, just honest advice.

Faqs
Common Questions From Customers
How long does garage door spring repair take in Birmingham?
Most spring repairs can be completed in one to two hours once our technician arrives. We carry a range of spring sizes on our trucks for common residential applications, which allows us to complete many repairs in a single visit without ordering parts.
How much does spring replacement cost in Birmingham, AL?
Spring replacement cost depends on the type of spring (torsion or extension), the size needed, and whether one or both springs need replacement. We provide an upfront quote before beginning any work. Call (205) 289-6536 to schedule a diagnosis visit.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
We strongly advise against it. With a broken spring, the door becomes extremely heavy and can fall suddenly, causing injury or damage to your vehicle or property. If your door is stuck, do not force it. Call ProTouch Garage Doors for same-day assistance.
What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the door and work by twisting (torquing). Extension springs run along the sides of the door and work by stretching. Most modern doors in Birmingham use torsion springs, while some older or lighter doors use extension springs. Both types can be repaired or replaced by our team.
Do you offer same-day spring replacement in Birmingham?
Yes, same-day service is available in many cases. Call us early in the day for the best availability. We serve Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, and surrounding areas.
A broken garage door spring is a safety issue that should be handled by a professional. Don’t risk injury trying to force a heavy door or attempting a DIY repair. ProTouch Garage Doors has the tools, training, and parts to fix it fast.
