Springs carry the full weight of the door, cycling tens of thousands of times before wearing out. When one fails, we replace it correctly, not just quickly.
Generic hardware-store springs rarely match the door's true weight. We measure and calculate, not guess.
A single-spring swap on a pair often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the tradeoff honestly.
Winding bars, proper sequence, and hands-on training are non-negotiable when a spring is under load.
Higher cycle-rated springs cost a bit more upfront and last considerably longer under daily use.
Whatever brought you here, one of these service lines is the fix, and one call gets a technician moving.
We calculate the correct torsion spring specification, then use proper winding bars and sequence to install it safely.
Extension springs are replaced in matched pairs with new safety cables, since a mismatched pair throws the door off balance.
Sudden spring failure gets same-day priority since a broken spring makes manual operation dangerous.
Older doors with extension springs can be converted to a torsion system for smoother, quieter, longer-lasting operation.
We estimate remaining cycle life based on door usage and spring age, so you can replace before a sudden failure strands you.
Describe the spring symptom, a loud bang, a sagging door, or a door that won't lift, and we'll schedule a technician.
Our vans carry the spring inventory needed for most jobs without a parts run.
Precise measurement comes first, then a confirmed flat price for the correct spring.
Spring installed, tension set, balance tested, and backed by written warranty before we leave.
“Diagnosed the exact wire gauge needed and had it on the truck already. No parts run, no delay.”
“Converted our old extension springs to a torsion system. Door is noticeably quieter and smoother now.”
“Preemptive spring check caught one close to failure before it snapped. Glad I called before it stranded us.”
The exact number depends on your door's specs, but you'll see it in writing before any spring is touched.
On a torsion pair, we recommend both since the second spring is on the same wear cycle, but we'll explain the reasoning and let you choose.
This is one of the more dangerous DIY repairs in a home due to the stored energy involved.
Cycle life varies by spring quality and usage frequency, but a decade is a common lifespan for a well-matched spring.
Yes, an incorrectly sized spring forces the opener motor to compensate, which shortens its lifespan considerably.
A standard spring swap typically takes under two hours on-site with the correct part in stock.
