Torsion Springs

Standard in Most
Hempstead Homes

Torsion springs mount horizontally on a steel shaft above the garage door. They work by twisting to store energy and release it to neutralize the door's weight. When a torsion spring breaks it stays on the shaft rather than flying free — one reason they are safer than extension springs. The signature symptom: a very loud bang followed immediately by a door the opener cannot lift.

Most Hempstead homes built after the 1990s use torsion spring systems. One Stop always replaces both springs simultaneously — they wear together, and replacing only one sets up a second failure within months.

💡 High-Cycle Upgrade: Standard springs are rated 7,000–10,000 cycles. One Stop's high-cycle springs reach 25,000+ cycles — lasting 3× longer for a modest additional cost. Strongly recommended for any Hempstead attached garage used multiple times daily.

Extension Springs

Common in Older
Hempstead Homes

Extension springs run horizontally along the tracks parallel to the ceiling. Common in Hempstead homes built before the 1990s. Safety cables are mandatory — they prevent broken extension springs from flying across the garage if they snap. One Stop installs safety cables with every extension spring replacement, without exception.

Spring Questions
Hempstead Homeowners Ask

Call (516) 493-4682
Who can fix my broken spring today in Hempstead NY?
One Stop Garage Door provides same-day spring repair throughout Hempstead 11550 and Nassau County, with technicians typically arriving within 2 to 4 hours. We carry torsion and extension springs in all sizes on every truck. Call (516) 493-4682 any time.
How much does spring repair cost in Hempstead?
Garage door spring replacement in Hempstead starts from $295 for torsion springs and $145 for extension springs, depending on spring type, size, and wire gauge required. We provide a free written estimate before any work begins — the price we quote is exactly what you pay.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
No — never. Torsion springs store enough mechanical energy to cause death if mishandled. Extension springs can become dangerous projectiles. All spring work must be performed by a trained professional with proper winding bars. Call One Stop: (516) 493-4682.
Should I replace both springs if only one broke?
Yes — always. Springs wear together. If one broke, the other is at the same point in its service life and will likely fail within months. One Stop always replaces both simultaneously — this is standard practice, not an upsell.
What is a high-cycle spring and is it worth it?
High-cycle springs are rated 25,000+ cycles versus 7,000–10,000 for standard springs. For an attached Hempstead garage used multiple times daily, the upgrade typically pays for itself by lasting 3× longer. One Stop recommends it for any high-use attached garage in Nassau County.
