Garage Door Spring Replacement in Missouri
Your garage door springs do the heavy lifting — literally. They counterbalance 150-400 pounds of door weight, making it possible to open with just a few pounds of force.
When springs fail, your door becomes inoperable and potentially dangerous. Five Stars Garage Door Repair Missouri provides expert spring replacement using commercial-grade parts that last 15-20 years.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Install
We carry all spring types in our trucks and can match your existing springs or recommend an upgrade:

Galvanized Springs
Zinc-coated springs that resist rust and corrosion. Essential for humid climates or Missouri's variable weather.
