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.
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.
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.
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.
We estimate remaining cycle life based on door usage and spring age, so you can replace before a sudden failure strands you.
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.
“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.
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.
Same-day service is standard, and the repair itself usually finishes within a couple of hours.
