Garage Door Spring Replacement in Auburn & Opelika, AL

Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and are the most common component to fail over time. When a spring breaks, your door becomes extremely heavy and dangerous to operate manually. Red Clay Garage Services provides fast, safe spring replacement for homeowners throughout Auburn, Opelika, and the greater Lee County area. We work with both torsion springs, which are mounted above the door opening, and extension springs, which run along the horizontal tracks on each side.

Most residential garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles, which translates to roughly seven to ten years of normal use. If your door suddenly slams shut, feels unusually heavy, or you heard a loud bang from the garage, chances are a spring has broken. We also replace frayed or snapped lift cables, which work in tandem with the springs to safely raise and lower your door.

Spring replacement is one of the most dangerous garage door repairs. The springs on a standard two-car door can hold over 200 pounds of tension, and improper handling can cause serious injury or property damage. Never attempt to replace garage door springs yourself. Our trained technician has the tools and experience to safely release the old spring tension, remove the broken components, and install properly rated replacements.

We carry a full inventory of standard torsion and extension springs on our truck, so most spring replacements in Auburn, Opelika, Smiths Station, and Phenix City can be completed the same day you call. We also offer upgraded high-cycle springs rated for 25,000 or more cycles for homeowners who want longer-lasting performance. Call Red Clay Garage Services at (850) 591-8939 to schedule your spring replacement today.
