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.
When one torsion spring fails, the other is on the same cycle clock. We recommend replacing both and explain why.
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.
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.
Describe the spring symptom, a loud bang, a sagging door, or a door that won't lift, and we'll schedule a technician.
Technicians arrive with multiple spring sizes and wire gauges already stocked, ready for common configurations.
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.”
“They measured everything before quoting instead of eyeballing it like the last company did.”
“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.
Yes. A torsion spring under tension can cause serious injury if released without proper tools and technique.
Higher cycle-rated springs can last well beyond a decade under normal household use.
A spring that's too weak puts extra strain on the opener with every cycle, accelerating wear.
A standard spring swap typically takes under two hours on-site with the correct part in stock.
Licensed technicians, flat-rate pricing, and a truck stocked for this exact job.
