Garage door springs carry almost the entire weight of your door — often more than 200–300 lbs. When a spring breaks, your garage door becomes impossible or extremely dangerous to lift.
If your garage door refuses to open, lifts unevenly, or you heard a loud bang in the garage — your springs are likely broken. That’s why broken springs are the #1 most common emergency repair in Calgary. At Overhead Solution, We provide same-day spring replacement with professional calibration, safety testing, and durable high-cycle springs.
Garage door springs are engineered to carry the full weight of your door often between 150 and 350 lbs. When a spring fails, the opener becomes overloaded and additional components such as cables, drums, and gears are put under extreme stress. Continuing to operate the door can lead to motor burnout, bent panels, and serious safety hazards. Our team provides urgent, same-day service to prevent further damage and restore safe operation without delay.
Recognizing a spring failure early can save you from costly repairs. The most common indicators include:
If you notice any of these symptoms, stop using the door immediately and call our emergency line.
Our technicians follow strict calibration procedures to ensure smooth, quiet, and safe operation.
