A torsion spring failing is loud, sudden, and unmistakable. Our technicians match the correct wire gauge and wind direction to your door's actual weight, not a guess off a chart.
A mismatched spring either fails early or overloads the opener. We size it correctly every time.
We won't hide the recommendation to replace both, but the final call on timing is always yours.
Winding bars, proper sequence, and hands-on training are non-negotiable when a spring is under load.
The spring installed is chosen for durability, not just for passing the next inspection.
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.
A torsion conversion adds an overhead shaft and drums, trading exposed extension springs for a safer, more durable setup.
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.
We measure the door weight, wire gauge, and coil diameter, then quote the exact spring spec before work begins.
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.
Most springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles, roughly seven to nine years of typical daily use.
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.
