Expert Garage Door Spring Repair Services in Chicago

A broken garage door spring isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. These tightly wound components are under extreme tension and are responsible for supporting the full weight of your door, which can exceed 300 pounds. When a spring snaps, it can cause your door to slam shut or refuse to budge, posing safety risks and trapping your vehicle inside.

Our certified technicians specialize in all types of garage door spring repair—from torsion spring replacements to extension spring recalibrations. We serve both residential and commercial properties, offering personalized solutions tailored to your garage door system, usage habits, and environmental conditions unique to Chicago’s weather extremes.

Common Garage Door Spring Issues We Fix

If you’re not sure whether it’s time to repair or replace your garage door springs, here are some of the most frequent problems we solve:

Snapped torsion or extension springs
Loud popping or banging sounds during operation
Garage door won’t lift manually or with the opener
One side of the door hangs lower or opens unevenly
Garage door slams shut instead of closing gently
Loose or stretched springs no longer holding tension

These aren’t issues you can afford to ignore. Left unresolved, broken springs can damage your opener, bend tracks, and put people and property at risk. At Four Seasons Garage Doors, we use high-quality springs and calibrated tools to restore safe, reliable function to your door.

Quality Parts & Expert Installation

When it comes to garage door spring repair, not all parts are created equal. That’s why we use only premium-grade, high-cycle springs—including our signature purple powder-coated torsion springs, which come with a three-year parts warranty and one-year labor guarantee.

Our Spring Options:

Torsion Springs
Mounted above the door, torsion springs offer smooth, controlled lifting and are ideal for most residential and commercial systems.
Extension Springs
Installed along the horizontal tracks, these springs are common in smaller or older garage doors and require careful balancing to prevent uneven wear.
High-Cycle Springs
Designed to withstand 25,000+ cycles, these are ideal for homeowners who use their garage door multiple times daily or want to minimize future repairs.

Our technicians arrive with fully stocked vehicles, so most repairs are completed the same day—no waiting for special orders or second visits. We ensure your system is properly balanced and calibrated to prevent strain on your opener and maximize spring lifespan.

Warning: Don’t Attempt DIY Spring Repairs

Many homeowners attempt to save money by replacing springs themselves—but this can be extremely dangerous. Garage door springs store immense force, and one wrong move can result in serious injury or death.

Here’s why professional service is essential:

Stored energy can cause severe injury if released suddenly
DIY repairs often void manufacturer warranties
Improper installation leads to additional damage over time
Lack of safety testing leaves your home at risk
Code violations may impact insurance coverage

Our licensed, insured team uses the correct winding tools, tension meters, and safety procedures to ensure every job is completed to industry standards.
