A garage door spring works harder than any other part of the system, cycling every time the door moves to carry the full weight of the panels. When that spring fails, the door stops cold and so does everything that depends on it.
At Select Garage Doors, we provide fast garage door spring repair for homes across Morrison, CO. Our technicians replace torsion and extension springs on sectional and rolling steel doors, rebalance the system, and test it fully so your door is back in safe working order with as little disruption as possible.

Had a garage door put in in February it broke down in August. But they came and fixed it up all nice now it works great and they didn’t charge me for the repair service. So I think they did great on the fixer upper. And I would recommend them for garage door services they were nice and super professional about the whole thing. They let me know they stand by there products which is always a good motto to have and fixed me up nicely

I scheduled an appointment for an estimate. They were able to install right then. It didn’t take long and they cleaned everything up after themselves. The install went very well and they were meticulous about where the wires were placed coming out of the ceiling and kept it organized. The door opener is very quiet which is really nice.

I am so glad I called Select Garage doors. My spring broke on my garage door and locked me out of access to my house. They responded same day and were fast and efficient making sure we were aware of all things needed to keep the garage working. Technician was super informative and friendly as well. 100% recommend.

I called on a Saturday because my garage opener stopped working. Shaun came out the same day. Provided an estimate and he was back Sunday morning to replace it. Highly recommend!
Eric Peck
I had a very noisy garage door repair issue that was waking up my kids every morning. The technician replaced the rollers and checked the Genie opener repair needs. It’s now whisper-quiet! I am so happy with the price and the same-day garage door service.

What a Broken Spring Really Costs Morrison Homeowners
A garage door spring carries the entire load on every cycle. When it weakens or snaps, the opener is forced to drag a door it was never designed to lift on its own, which quickly strains the motor, cables, and tracks and can take the whole system out of service.
For a Morrison homeowner, that failure goes beyond a repair bill. A door stuck open leaves your vehicles, tools, and belongings exposed. A door stuck closed means no way in or out until the problem is fixed. Getting a professional on-site quickly restores safe operation and protects the surrounding hardware from a far more expensive round of damage.
Morrison sits at the base of the foothills where mountain air, elevation, and wide seasonal temperature swings put steady stress on spring steel. Cold winter mornings make the metal brittle and far more prone to snapping, which is why so many local spring failures happen when temperatures drop hardest.

About Morrison, CO
Morrison is a statutory town in Jefferson County, Colorado, situated at the mouth of Bear Creek Canyon along the Front Range foothills, approximately 15 miles west of downtown Denver. The town traces its roots to the early 1870s and was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1906. With a population of 428 at the 2020 Census, it is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Jefferson County. Sitting at an elevation of roughly 5,762 feet, Morrison is best known as the gateway to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, one of the most iconic outdoor venues in the country, and its canyon setting gives it a character entirely distinct from the suburban communities to the east.
Things to Do in Morrison
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre: One of the most iconic outdoor music venues in the world, set into natural red sandstone formations roughly 300 million years old. The park is open year-round for hiking and fitness, and the amphitheater hosts concerts throughout spring and summer.
Dinosaur Ridge: A National Natural Landmark along the Morrison hogback just east of town, where visitors can see exposed dinosaur bones in the rock face and trackways left by dinosaurs roughly 100 million years ago. Significant Late Jurassic fossil finds, including early Stegosaurus specimens, were documented near this site in 1877.
Morrison Natural History Museum: A small museum in downtown Morrison dedicated to the paleontological heritage of the area, featuring hands-on exhibits, dinosaur tracks, and educational programs tied to the fossils found in the local rock beds.
Mount Falcon Park: A Jefferson County Open Space park with trails ranging from easy walks to more demanding climbs, offering views of Denver, the Continental Divide, and the stone ruins of an early 20th-century estate once envisioned as a mountain retreat for U.S. presidents.
Bear Creek Canyon Park: A Jefferson County park running along CO-8 west of Morrison, featuring trails, wildlife habitat, and quiet creek access in a less-visited setting than the Red Rocks corridor.

The most obvious sign is a door that will not open at all or feels extremely heavy when lifted manually. You may also hear a loud bang from the garage when the spring snaps, see a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door, or notice the door hanging unevenly on one side. Any of these signs warrants a call to a professional before the door is used again.
No. A door with a broken spring puts the full weight of the panels on the opener motor, which it was never designed to carry. The door can drop suddenly without warning and the cables and hardware left under uneven tension are dangerous to handle without proper tools and training. Stop using the door and call for professional service right away.
It is strongly not recommended. Torsion springs store an enormous amount of mechanical energy and can cause serious injury if released incorrectly during removal or installation. Spring replacement requires specialized winding tools, precise calibration to the door’s weight, and experience working with high-tension components. A professional technician handles this safely and correctly the first time.
Standard torsion springs are rated for roughly 10,000 cycles, which translates to approximately 8 to 14 years of regular use depending on how often the door operates. Morrison’s elevation, dry mountain air, and wide seasonal temperature swings can accelerate metal fatigue, so springs in the area may reach the end of their service life sooner than the rated cycle count suggests.
Yes. Most residential garage doors use two springs that were installed at the same time and have accumulated the same amount of wear. When one breaks, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both during the same visit saves on a second service call and keeps the door balanced and operating safely.
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the door opening and work by twisting to store and release energy. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door and stretch to provide counterbalance. Torsion springs are more common on modern residential doors and generally last longer and operate more smoothly than extension springs.
Cost depends on the spring type, size, and how many need to be replaced. We provide a clear written quote before any work begins so there are no surprises when the job is complete.
No. A broken or weakened spring cannot be welded, patched, or wound back to safe working condition. Once a spring has failed or shows signs of significant wear, full replacement is the only safe and reliable fix.
A first follow-up visit within the first year after spring replacement is a good idea. New springs can settle slightly after initial use and a technician can check tension, balance, and lubrication before any drift causes operational issues. Annual maintenance visits are the standard recommendation after that.
