Sectional garage door springs carry most of the weight every time you open or close your door. Over time, this constant strain causes them to wear out, which is why sectional garage door spring replacement in Brisbane is such a common repair. On average, these springs last 10–15 years. When one breaks, the rest are usually close behind – so replacing them together keeps your door balanced, protects your opener, and helps you avoid costly breakdowns.
Roller garage door springs are built to last, usually 20–25 years with normal use. These torsion spring garage door systems sit hidden inside the door drum, which makes them difficult and unsafe to replace yourself. If you notice a broken roller garage door spring, it’s often a sign the entire door may need replacement to ensure safety and reliable operation. That’s why professional roller garage door spring repair in Brisbane is essential.
Tilt door springs support the full weight of your door, making it possible to lift and lower safely. With regular use, they last about 15–20 years. Once one spring breaks, the others are usually not far behind. Replacing tilt door springs together keeps your door balanced, reduces strain on the opener, and helps prevent unexpected safety risks or expensive repairs down the track.
Never attempt garage door spring replacement in Brisbane yourself. Springs are under extreme tension
and can cause serious injury or property damage if handled incorrectly. DIY repairs without the right tools
or training often lead to dangerous accidents and expensive mistakes.
For your safety, always hire a qualified technician with the correct tools and protective gear. And if your
springs are broken, avoid operating the door – manual or automatic use can cause further damage to the
door, opener, and your budget.

Operating your garage door with a broken garage door spring can cause significant damage to the automatic opener and other parts of the system.
It also poses a serious safety risk, as the door won’t hold itself open so it could drop suddenly or become stuck. To avoid extra repair costs and prevent accidents, stop using the door immediately and call a professional.

No. Not only do different door types require different springs but springs come in different widths, lengths and coil thicknesses to suit your individual doors size and weight.
Choosing the correct spring is essential for balancing and safe operation. Fitting the wrong springs will result in automatic opener and door damage.

Garage door springs work together, sharing the load equally. When one spring breaks, the others are usually close to failure due to equal wear.
Replacing all springs at once ensures the door stays balanced, reduces stress on the opener, and prevents further breakdowns, saving you time and additional repair costs.

The lifespan of your garage door springs depends on the door type and usage:
Sectional door springs: 10–15 years
Tilt door springs: 25–30 years
Roller door springs: 20–25 years
Frequent daily use can shorten these timelines. Regular servicing can extend spring life by identifying wear early and preventing unexpected breakdowns.
