When a garage door spring breaks, the door becomes too heavy to lift safely and puts dangerous strain on the opener and cables. All About Doors provides broken garage door spring repair in Glen Burnie, MD, with trained technicians available for torsion and extension spring failures across the area. Serving homeowners since 1999, our licensed and insured team is ready to assess the full spring system, identify the root cause, and restore safe, balanced operation.
A broken spring puts stress on every connected component, from the cables and drums to the opener motor and safety sensors. Our team arrives equipped to handle the full assessment, complete the repair, and confirm the door is balanced and operating safely before we leave.
You can usually tell a garage door spring is broken by a few clear signs: a loud bang from the garage, a door that won’t lift or rises only inches before dropping, or a visible gap in the torsion spring coil above the door opening. The door may also feel extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually.
Garage door spring repair should be handled by a trained technician. Torsion and extension springs operate under extreme tension, and attempting to replace them without the proper tools and experience creates a serious safety risk. All About Doors assesses the full spring system, recommends the right solution, and completes the work safely.

Our apartment community uses All About Doors for four high-use garage doors for over 450 residents. The equipment takes a beating. AAD always responds as quickly as they can and have fair service fees. I hope we never have to use another vendor for 101 Cross Street because when something goes wrong, we have 450 residents trusting us to use skilled vendors to resume normal function in a reasonable timeframe. Additionally, they are very considerate by phone and the techs are also kind. Thanks for being one of our favorite Bozzuto approved vendors. ❤️ ❤️Posted on Google![]()

My garage door was 57 years old. It was 7 foot 6 inches tall. The old door used 4 panels to span the opening and was a beast. I wanted windows in the general location that the old door held. NO OTHER garage door company would provide me with a new garage door that put the windows where I requested. Other companies kept pushing the 18 inch panels that would put the window too high. Then came All About Doors. Ed arrived, took his measurements, we discussed what I wanted; he left and said I’ll have something for you by the next day. Later that same evening, he sent his quote for a “Carriage Style” Garage Door. that gave me 4 panel door, 21inch 18 inch 18 inch and 21 inch, the same as my old door. These measurement placed windows in the same location as the old door. Again, no other company mentioned this or was willing to work with me regarding this. I worked with Ed and came up with our design. This was a special order and it took a few extra weeks. FINALY, Monday March 25, Crews arrived on time. The installation crews were friendly and communicated well with me. I feel All About Doors went to go the extra mile to make the customer happy. That is why they received my business. I recommend them, especially if your garage door is not of normal size.Posted on Google![]()

Once again they exceed my expectations. I thought forsure my old garage door motor was done for. Dispatch got me on the schedule for the same day and the technician explained everything and made some repairs. The invoice was very reasonable and we're thrilled with our "new" old doorPosted on Google![]()

UPDATE: After I posted my initial review, the company reached out to me and offered to make things right. Since I had finished the work myself, they refunded me $400. I appreciate that they wanted to make sure I was satisfied and have adjusted my star review accordingly. ORIGINAL REVIEW: They talk a big talk, but don't follow through. I didn't hold it against them when it took 13 months under contract to get one door installed, or that I had to contact them nonstop to get the work done. What really bugs me is that they never properly finished the job. They were supposed to come back to patch up a gap in my fence and cover the housing around the door motor, but once they had their money, that was the last I saw of them. I had to patch the fence myself. The motor has been getting rusty for months, and I am still working on a DYI fix for that. Maybe my job was just too small for them to care very much about it?Posted on Google![]()

I have used these guys before for door repairs at my business. Always fair prices. Last night one of the doors jammed up and fell out of the tracks at 8:00pm as we were closing up. They came out late at night to get it up for the night so we could secure the shop and will be back out to repair as soon as they have the parts. Thought I was going to be up all night playing security guard. Great service recommend 100%

Springs weaken over time from repeated use, rust, and metal fatigue. Most torsion and extension springs are rated for a set number of cycles, and once that limit is reached, a break is common. Cold temperatures can also accelerate the process.
We strongly advise against it. Without a working spring, the full weight of the door falls on the opener and cables, which can cause additional damage or a sudden drop. Keep the door in place and call for service.
Repair time depends on the spring type and whether cables or drums also need attention. Our technicians arrive prepared to assess and complete the repair as efficiently as possible.
We typically recommend replacing both springs together, even if only one has broken. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one fails, the other is often close behind. Replacing both at once avoids a repeat service call.
Most homes use either torsion springs, mounted above the door opening, or extension springs along the horizontal tracks on each side. Our technicians identify your spring type and source the right replacement for your system.
Garage door spring repair cost depends on the spring type, the number of springs being replaced, and any related repairs needed. We provide a clear, upfront estimate before work is approved so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, if left unaddressed. A broken spring shifts load to the opener motor, cables, and drums, which can cause fraying, snapping, or motor burnout. Prompt repair helps prevent a single spring failure from becoming a larger system issue.
Standard springs are rated for roughly 10,000 cycles, while high-cycle options can last significantly longer. Frequency of use, lubrication, and local climate all affect lifespan. Our technicians can assess your spring’s condition and recommend an upgrade if needed.
Yes. Broken garage door spring replacement is one of the most common emergency repairs we perform. Our technicians arrive prepared to assess the full spring system and complete the replacement as efficiently as possible.
