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.
A mismatched spring either fails early or overloads the opener. We size it correctly every time.
A single-spring swap on a pair often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the tradeoff honestly.
This is the one repair where licensing and training genuinely protect you, not just the door.
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.
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.
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.
The door is verified balanced and safe to operate before the job is called complete.
“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.”
Pricing varies by spring size and door weight, quoted upfront on-site with no hidden add-ons.
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.
Cycle life varies by spring quality and usage frequency, but a decade is a common lifespan for a well-matched spring.
A spring that's too weak puts extra strain on the opener with every cycle, accelerating wear.
Most spring replacements are completed same-day, often within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
