Extension or torsion, left-wound or right-wound, spring replacement is precision work. We calculate the exact spring specification before winding anything into place.
A mismatched spring either fails early or overloads the opener. We size it correctly every time.
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.
Describe the spring symptom, a loud bang, a sagging door, or a door that won't lift, and we'll schedule a technician.
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.
“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.”
Pricing varies by spring size and door weight, quoted upfront on-site with no hidden add-ons.
Replacing just one often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the cost difference honestly.
We strongly recommend a licensed technician handle any spring work given the forces 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.
A standard spring swap typically takes under two hours on-site with the correct part in stock.
