When your garage door won't open after a loud bang, it's easy to blame the opener. The springs lift your door, though, and the opener only guides it. A torsion spring that has broken separates at the break point and leaves a visible gap in the coil. If you can see a gap like that, it points to a broken torsion spring, and that's what our Torsion Spring Replacement is for.
Springs are rated in cycles, and one cycle is one open and one close of your door. The industry minimum is 10,000 cycles, and higher-cycle springs are available. Near the coast, salt air and humidity corrode springs, so they wear out sooner than inland. For garage door spring repair, the service you want from us is Torsion Spring Replacement, and on a door with two springs, both usually get replaced at once, because the new spring would strain the old one next to it. With a broken spring and a door that won't lift, use 🎟️ our emergency repair coupon.
A repair video can make a spring swap look like a Saturday project. Your spring holds enormous tension, though, and that makes adjusting or replacing it a job for a technician, never a do-it-yourself fix. That's true of the broken spring and of any spring still whole on the same door. Your cables hold enormous tension too, so leave those alone as well. Let our technicians take on the Torsion Spring Replacement.
