Without springs, your garage door wouldn’t be going anywhere very easily – or at ll. If it’s struggling to move when you need it to, find out how we can help below.
Trustworthy Spring Services
Your garage door’s springs are what provide the strength needed to lift up your door, as it’s much heavier than it may look! That means you want people you can count on to take care of them if there’s a problem. Our years of experience means that you can rely on us to have it all done in no time. No matter if your door has torsion or extension springs, we’ll be able to adjust them if they’ve gotten out of whack, or carefully replace them if one has broken. If you’ve noticed that your door isn’t working quite right anymore, or if it’s broken completely, just give us a call.
DIY Is Too Dangerous
Don’t be tempted to try to handle these things on your own, as springs must be handled with the utmost care and expertise. They are directly connected to the weight of the door, so one accidental move could cause the whole thing to fall and lead to irreparable damage. Aside from putting your door and anything in the garage at risk, it could also potentially harm you and your family. The spring itself may snap and hurt you, or the door may be dysfunctional and not work as it should if the spring isn’t tended to correctly. It’s far safest to instead allow a professional to do things.

Some Helpful Tidbits
What should I do if my garage door spring breaks?
If your spring breaks you should avoid trying to open the door in any way, automatically or manually. If you absolutely must get your car out of the garage, get some friends to help you open the door but only long enough to get your car out. Then, as gently as possible close the door again and call a qualified garage door repair service to replace the springs. The tension involved in this type of repair job makes spring replacement a considerably dangerous task that should be handled by professionals whenever possible.
How long do garage door springs last?
The average torsion spring opens and closes twice or more times a day. In most cases they can last for approximately 10,000 cycles, provided they receive appropriate maintenance, which means the average spring can last for seven to ten years, give or take. Extension springs will usually last for half as long, due to the fact that their stretching and contracting operation results in more wear and tear.
How do I adjust garage door spring tension?
First, you need to identify whether you have extension springs or torsion springs, as the adjustment is performed differently for each type. Torsion springs sit across a horizontal shaft right above the door, while extension springs, and that’s two, as in a pair, always, can be found installed across the ceiling, perpendicular to the door. As for how to adjust their tension, this can be very dangerous, so our recommendation would be not to attempt to DIY. That’s what our professional technicians are here for.
