Extension or torsion, left-wound or right-wound, spring replacement is precision work. We calculate the exact spring specification before winding anything into place.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
Higher cycle-rated springs can last well beyond a decade under normal household use.
Correct spring sizing protects both the door balance and the opener motor long-term.
Most spring replacements are completed same-day, often within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
