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.
We calculate wire gauge, coil diameter, and wind direction against your door's actual weight before installing anything.
When one torsion spring fails, the other is on the same cycle clock. We recommend replacing both and explain why.
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.
Each service below is handled by a technician trained specifically for this kind of repair, not a generalist guessing at it.
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.
Technicians arrive with multiple spring sizes and wire gauges already stocked, ready for common configurations.
We measure the door weight, wire gauge, and coil diameter, then quote the exact spring spec before work begins.
The door is verified balanced and safe to operate before the job is called complete.
“Diagnosed the exact wire gauge needed and had it on the truck already. No parts run, no delay.”
“They measured everything before quoting instead of eyeballing it like the last company did.”
“Balance test after the install showed the door lifts perfectly by hand now, opener disconnected.”
The exact number depends on your door's specs, but you'll see it in writing before any spring is touched.
We'll tell you the second spring's estimated remaining life so you can decide with real information.
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.
Correct spring sizing protects both the door balance and the opener motor long-term.
A standard spring swap typically takes under two hours on-site with the correct part in stock.
