Door problem or opener problem
Pull the release cord and lift the door by hand. If it moves smoothly and stays put halfway, the door and springs are likely fine and the opener is the suspect. If it is heavy or slams down, the spring system needs attention and that is not a repair to attempt yourself.
Before you agree to a replacement
Ask for the repair price and the replacement price, insulation value if the garage is attached or used as a workspace, and what the warranty covers on both the door and the opener.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my garage door spring break?
Springs are rated for a number of cycles and wear out with use, faster in cold climates and on doors that open many times a day. A break is normal end of life rather than a sign that something else is wrong.
Can I replace just one spring?
On a two spring door, technicians usually recommend replacing both. The second spring has the same age and cycle count, so replacing one often means a second call not long after.
How long does a garage door installation take?
A straightforward single door replacement is commonly a half day job. Double doors, new track, or adding an opener take longer, and custom doors need to be ordered first.
