We provide specialized commercial garage door spring repair services across Orange County, CA. Our experienced technicians handle everything from emergency repairs to preventative maintenance for businesses of all sizes.
We begin every commercial spring repair with a thorough diagnosis to identify the exact problem. Our technicians inspect the entire spring system, including tension levels, wear patterns, and mounting hardware.

- Broken coils or sections

Types of Springs We Repair
We service all commercial garage door spring types commonly used in Orange County businesses. Torsion springs are the most common in commercial applications due to their durability and lifting power.
Torsion Springs:
- Standard torsion springs
- High-cycle torsion springs (25,000-100,000+ cycles)
- Heavy-duty commercial-grade springs
- Oil-tempered wire springs
Extension Springs:
- Open-looped extension springs
- Double-looped extension springs
- Safety cable systems
We can replace springs on sectional doors, rolling steel doors, and high-speed commercial doors.
Our repair process follows industry best practices to ensure safety and longevity. We first secure the door and relieve tension from the existing springs using specialized winding tools.
We calibrate spring tension to match your door's weight and dimensions. Improper tension leads to premature wear on motors and tracks.
All fasteners and mounting hardware are inspected and replaced as needed. Our technicians lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and extend component life.
After repairs, we conduct multiple operation tests to ensure smooth functioning. We also provide recommendations for maintenance intervals based on your door's usage patterns.

Safety and Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance and safety protocols are essential for the longevity and reliable operation of your commercial garage door springs. Regular inspections can prevent costly repairs and minimize business disruptions while ensuring the safety of employees and customers.
Routine Maintenance
We recommend scheduling professional inspections of your commercial garage door springs at least twice yearly. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become serious problems that could halt business operations.
Between professional visits, perform visual inspections of your springs, cables, and hardware. Look for signs of rust, wear, or damage that might indicate emerging problems.
Lubricating moving parts every three months helps reduce friction and extends the life of your springs. Use a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for garage doors, not WD-40 which can attract dirt.
Test the balance of your door by disconnecting the opener and manually lifting the door halfway. A properly balanced door should stay in place without assistance. If it doesn't, the springs likely need adjustment.
Common Spring Issues
Early detection of spring problems can prevent accidents and costly emergency repairs. Listen for unusual noises like grinding or screeching during operation, which often signal spring issues.
Watch for these warning signs:
- Uneven door movement or jerky operation
- Gaps in torsion springs indicating they're stretched or broken
- Visible rust or corrosion on spring components
- Door that falls too quickly when closing manually
- Difficulty opening the door, especially if it seems heavier than normal
Commercial doors often show different symptoms than residential ones due to their size and frequent use. If your door takes longer than usual to respond to opener commands, the springs may be losing tension.
