Garage Door Spring Repair in Cape Coral & Southwest Florida
Is your garage door difficult to lift or refusing to open? A broken or worn spring may be the cause. GDM Pro Services provides garage door spring repair and replacement in Cape Coral and surrounding Southwest Florida communities. We inspect the problem and explain the work needed to get your door operating safely again.
Signs of a Broken Garage Door Spring
Common signs include a loud bang from the garage, a door that suddenly feels much heavier, or a door that opens only a few inches before stopping. You may also notice a visible gap in a spring above the door. These symptoms can have other causes, so an inspection is needed to identify the problem.
What to Do If You Suspect a Broken Spring
Stop using the garage door and keep people and pets away from it. Do not force the door open, attempt to adjust the springs, or pull the emergency release while the door is open. Garage door springs are under high tension and require professional handling. Contact us to arrange an inspection and repair.
Our Spring Repair Process
We start by listening. Customers often suspect an opener or sensor problem before discovering that a spring has broken. We ask what happened, inspect the door, and show you what we find.
Our inspection includes the springs, cables, drums, rollers, bearings, and locks. We also check that the door is not hanging from the opener rail and connecting arm. Before starting repairs, we give you an exact quote. On a two-spring system, we replace both springs together, even when only one has broken.
If bearings or other parts need attention, we show you the wear, explain our recommendation, and price the additional work separately. We also point out issues to plan for in the future.
Replacing both springs typically takes about an hour. Afterward, we test the door’s balance and operation and adjust the opener settings if needed at no extra charge. We also lubricate the hinges as a courtesy.
Before leaving, we walk you through the completed work, show you the replaced parts, and check that everything meets your expectations. You can receive your receipt by email or a text link.
Why Replace Both Garage Door Springs?
Garage doors with two springs are designed to work as a pair. When one spring breaks, the other has usually experienced similar wear. Replacing both helps restore balanced operation and avoids leaving an older spring to fail soon after the first repair.
Spring work also involves safely unwinding and rewinding the remaining spring, which is under high tension. That work can cause serious injury if handled improperly, so we use the proper tools and procedures and recommend professional service rather than attempting it yourself.
