What’s wrong with my garage door?

Call by 11 am and we can usually fix it the same day. Later calls are usually scheduled for the next day.

No. With a broken spring the door is dead weight. Running it can damage the opener, pull the door off its tracks or hurt someone. Leave it closed if you can and call us.

Our replacement springs typically last 7 to 12 years with normal use. A standard torsion spring is rated around 10,000 cycles, and one cycle is one open and close. Busy garages wear them out sooner. Longer-life, high-cycle springs are available.

We recommend it. Springs on the same door are the same age, so when one breaks the other is usually close behind. Replacing both at once saves you a second visit. We usually recommend new lift cables at the same time.

We advise two springs on a two-car door. It balances the door better and the springs last longer.

We don’t recommend it. A wound torsion spring holds enough force to cause serious injury if it slips. We don’t sell torsion springs to homeowners.
