Garage Door Spring Repair in Naperville, IL

Heard a bang and now the door won't lift? That's almost always a broken spring. Call by 3pm and we fix it today, at the price on this page.

Is It The Spring?

Four Signs A Spring Has Broken

Springs lift the weight of the door. When one breaks, the door gets heavy all at once.

Bang

A loud crack from the garage, often on a cold morning, with nobody near the door.

Gap

A two-inch gap in the coiled spring above the door.

Stuck

The opener strains, lifts the door a few inches and stops.

Cables

Loose or dangling cables at the bottom corners of the door.

Until We Arrive

Leave The Door Where It Is

Don't run the opener

It can't lift the door without the spring, and it can pull the door off its track.

Don't lift it by hand

A two-car door can weigh 150 pounds or more with nothing helping it.

Don't touch the spring or cables

They hold a lot of tension. Adjusting them takes special bars and training.

Springs And Cables Are All We Do

Springs break more than anything else on a garage door, and they break most in a cold snap — so that's the job we built the business around. Every truck carries springs in the common sizes for the doors around Naperville, so most calls are finished on the first visit. We post our prices because the first question everyone asks is "how much?" and you shouldn't have to wait for a visit to find out.

Choosing Springs

Standard Or High-Cycle?

Standard springs

Rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles — roughly 7 to 10 years for most families.

High-cycle springs

Rated for about 25,000 cycles or more. Worth it if the garage is your front door.

Always in pairs

Two springs age together. When one breaks, the other is close behind.

Why winter?

Cold steel is more brittle, and a spring near the end of its life often goes on the first freezing morning.

Done Right

Measured, not guessed

Minus four degrees, a bang like a gunshot, and the door wouldn't move. They were here by noon with the right springs on the truck. The price on the phone was the price on the bill.
Tom Reyes
★★★★★
Another company quoted me for a whole new door. Kittredge replaced the springs and both cables for a fraction of that, and the door is quieter than it's been in years.
Aisha Brennan
★★★★★
They showed me the broken spring, explained why they replace both, and asked before upgrading anything. No pressure at all.

One cable had come off the drum and the door was hanging crooked. The tech had it back on track and balanced in forty minutes.

★★★★★
We went with the high-cycle springs because we're in and out of the garage all day. Worth the extra — they explained exactly why.

Called at 8am on a Sunday. Fixed before lunch, no Sunday surcharge. That's rare.

Questions

Garage Door Spring Questions

How much does garage door spring repair cost in Naperville?

A matched pair of torsion springs for a standard two-car door is $229 installed; extension springs are $189. Parts, labor and the trip are included, and there's no weekend surcharge. Oversized or heavy wood doors are quoted on the phone.

Why replace both springs if only one broke?

They were installed together and have done the same number of cycles, so the second is usually close to breaking. Replacing both saves a second visit — but it's your call, and we'll quote one if you'd rather.

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

We'd strongly advise against it. Torsion springs hold enough tension to cause serious injuries, and the job needs winding bars and training. It's the one garage door repair we tell every homeowner to leave to a pro.

How long does a spring repair take?

Usually under an hour, including checking the cables, rollers and balance once the new springs are on.

Do you only do springs?

Springs, cables and off-track doors are most of what we do, plus tune-ups. For new doors or opener installs we'll point you to a company we trust.
