Garage Door Spring Repair
In North Little Rock, AR
Torsion, extension, enclosed tube or commercial, we fix every kind of garage door spring, and we replaced springs on 26 North Little Rock jobs in the last 12 months. Here’s how to tell which one you have and what the fix involves.
Quick Answer: Spring Repair Across The River
Call (501) 441-4669 any time and tell us what the door is doing. We come across the river from our shop on West Markham in Little Rock, identify the spring system on your door, and give you a flat-rate price for the repair before any work starts.
On torsion doors, our standard is the 30,000-cycle Ultra-Cycle spring, rated for three times the cycles of a typical builder-grade spring and covered by our 3-year parts warranty. A lower-priced 10,000-cycle spring is also available for anyone who wants the lowest price, and we’ll quote both. A trip charge applies to every service call.

Which Spring Does Your Door Have?
Knowing your spring type tells you what broke and makes the phone call faster. Stand inside the garage with the door closed and look up:
Torsion Spring
One or two tightly wound springs on a steel bar directly above the door. When one breaks you’ll see a clean gap in the coil. This is the most common setup on newer homes and the one our Ultra-Cycle springs are made for.
Extension Springs
Long springs running along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door, stretching as the door closes. Common on older homes. They should have a safety cable running through the middle so a broken spring can’t whip loose.
Enclosed Tube Springs
Springs sealed inside a tube above the door, found on some Wayne Dalton doors under the TorqueMaster name. You can’t see the break, but the symptoms are the same: a heavy door and an opener that strains.
Commercial Springs
Larger, heavier torsion springs on shop and warehouse doors, often in sets. Commercial doors run more cycles, so spring life matters even more. See our commercial door repair page.
How We Fix It
Spring Replacement
New springs matched to your door’s weight. On torsion doors that means Ultra-Cycle springs, both of them on a two-spring door. Balance test and opener reset included.
Spring Package
Springs and drums replaced together, with the end bearings checked and replaced if worn, so the new springs aren’t fighting old drag.
The Rebuild
The full mechanical system in one visit: springs, drums, cables, end bearings, center bearing and nylon rollers. Premium Rebuild: standard springs and a 5-year warranty. Elite Rebuild: Ultra-Cycle springs and a 10-year warranty.
Lowest-Price Spring
A 10,000-cycle spring for anyone who wants the lowest up-front price. We price it right next to the Ultra-Cycle.
All quoted at a flat rate before work begins. Compare the options in detail or read our spring cost guide.
Old-Style Springs: Replace The Pair
If your door runs on extension springs, a few things are worth knowing before we arrive:
- They work as a pair. The spring on each side lifts half the door. Replacing only the broken one leaves the door pulling unevenly, so we recommend doing both.
- Safety cables matter. A safety cable threaded through each spring keeps a broken spring from flying across the garage. If yours don’t have them, ask us about it.
- Pulleys and cables wear too. Extension systems have pulleys and lift cables that fray and crack with age. We check them while we’re there.
Whatever spring you have, don’t try to adjust or replace it yourself. Spring tension is what holds the door’s weight, and it can cause serious injury when it lets go.

North Little Rock Spring Repair Questions
Yes. Last year we did spring work in 72114, 72116, 72117 and 72118, and we work in Sherwood, Maumelle and Jacksonville nearby. If you’re not sure we cover your street, call and ask.
Look up with the door closed. Springs on a bar above the door are torsion springs. Springs along the tracks on each side are extension springs. A closed tube with no visible coil usually means an enclosed system like TorqueMaster. If you’re still not sure, text us a photo at (501) 441-4669.
Yes. We service commercial overhead doors and their springs as well as residential doors. Commercial springs are larger and often come in sets, so tell us the door size when you call.
We recommend it. The two springs share the load and have the same age and wear, so the second one is usually close behind, and a matched pair keeps the door lifting evenly.
It depends on the spring type, the door’s size and weight, and which option you choose. You get a flat-rate price on site before any work starts, and a trip charge applies to every service call. Our spring cost guide explains the factors.
For most homeowners, yes. It’s rated for 30,000 cycles versus 10,000, about three times the life under the same use. If you’re selling soon or just need the door working, the 10,000-cycle spring is there, and we’ll quote both.
