NEW TORSION SPRINGS AND REPAIRS ON A CUSTOM, WOOD, GARAGE DOOR
Repairs on a 24’x7’6” custom, 864 pound, wood garage door. We replaced, and added, reinforcement struts, replaced the torsion springs, replaced the outside hinges, and installed a 8500w side mount motor to this door. The door was sagging in the middle, had bent hinges and had the incorrect torsion springs on it. When we replace custom size springs, we first weigh the door with our heavy duty scales. This gives us an accurate weight to determine the correct size springs to order and get the door balanced. We can also calculate spring life options(by cycles) and give you several options for replacement. The standard spring life is 10,000 cycles but we can offer longer cycles such as 25k, 50k or more. Once the work was done, the door was balanced and smooth and ran perfectly with the side mount motor. Once we were finished with the repairs, we lubricated the entire system and checked the operation for anything unusual.
