Expert spring repair in Montreal + South Shore
Garage door springs do almost 100% of the lifting work — the opener is just a guide. When a spring snaps in your Montreal or South Shore garage, you'll hear a loud bang and the door becomes dead-weight (often 150 to 350 lb) that the opener cannot safely lift. Continuing to use it burns out the opener, bends tracks, or drops the door.
We replace torsion and extension springs every day across the West Island, central Montreal boroughs and the entire Rive-Sud. We stock high-cycle springs sized exactly to your door — not generic bargain springs. We also replace springs in matched pairs, because a snapped spring almost always means the second one is about to fail.
If your door is stuck halfway open with a broken spring, don't force it. Call us, and don't park your car under it.

- Door extremely heavy when lifted manually
- Opener strains, hums or trips its safety on the way up
