Are you stuck with a garage door that won’t open or close properly? You might be facing a broken garage door spring — a common issue that many homeowners in Richmond, BC experience, especially with changing weather conditions.
At Defy Innovations – Garage Door VanCity, we specialize in garage door spring replacement in Richmond and nearby areas. Whether it’s an emergency repair or routine maintenance, our trained technicians are just a call away to get your door back on track — safely and affordably.
🛑 When Should You Replace Your Garage Door Springs?
Garage door springs don’t last forever. In fact, they go through thousands of open-close cycles each year. Over time, they wear out or snap, often without much warning.
Here are clear signs your garage door springs may need replacement:
- Your garage door closes too quickly or slams shut
- The door looks crooked or uneven when opening
- There are gaps in the springs or they look stretched
- You hear loud pops, squeaks, or grinding noises
- The door doesn’t open at all – or struggles to lift
- You see rust or corrosion on the springs
If you notice any of these issues, don’t try to fix it yourself. Call the pros at Defy Innovations – Garage Door VanCity at 604-328-5365 for quick and safe spring replacement in Richmond.

🔁 Should You Replace One Spring or Both?
Here’s what many homeowners ask:
“Only one spring is broken. Do I need to replace both?”
Yes, you should. Springs are installed in pairs and share the load evenly. Replacing only one will lead to:
- Uneven lifting
- Faster wear on the new spring
- Risk of another sudden failure
Our team always recommends replacing both for balanced, safe performance — and long-term savings.
