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.
We won't hide the recommendation to replace both, but the final call on timing is always yours.
A loaded torsion spring can cause serious injury if mishandled. Our technicians are trained specifically on safe unwinding and winding procedure.
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.
Precise torsion spring replacement matched by wire gauge, coil diameter, and wind direction to your specific door weight and track configuration.
Worn extension springs stretch unevenly over time. We replace both sides together with new safety containment cables.
A snapped spring means the door won't move safely. We carry multiple spring sizes on every truck for a same-visit fix.
Older doors with extension springs can be converted to a torsion system for smoother, quieter, longer-lasting operation.
Springs rated for 10,000 cycles wear predictably. We'll tell you honestly how much life is left before it becomes an emergency.
A quick description of the spring symptom gets the right parts loaded on the truck before arrival.
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.
“Spring snapped with a bang like a gunshot. Tech replaced both springs same day and explained why doing just one wasn't worth the risk.”
“Converted our old extension springs to a torsion system. Door is noticeably quieter and smoother now.”
“Balance test after the install showed the door lifts perfectly by hand now, opener disconnected.”
Cost depends on spring type, wire gauge, and whether one or both springs need replacing, confirmed as a flat price before work starts.
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.
Yes. A torsion spring under tension can cause serious injury if released without proper tools and technique.
Most springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles, roughly seven to nine years of typical daily use.
A spring that's too weak puts extra strain on the opener with every cycle, accelerating wear.
A standard spring swap typically takes under two hours on-site with the correct part in stock.
