Extension or torsion, left-wound or right-wound, spring replacement is precision work. We calculate the exact spring specification before winding anything into place.
We calculate wire gauge, coil diameter, and wind direction against your door's actual weight before installing anything.
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.
We install springs rated for the cycle life your usage actually demands, not the cheapest option on the shelf.
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.
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.
A quick description of the spring symptom gets the right parts loaded on the truck before arrival.
Our vans carry the spring inventory needed for most jobs without a parts run.
We measure the door weight, wire gauge, and coil diameter, then quote the exact spring spec before work begins.
Spring installed, tension set, balance tested, and backed by written warranty before we leave.
“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.”
Cost depends on spring type, wire gauge, and whether one or both springs need replacing, confirmed as a flat price before work starts.
Replacing just one often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the cost difference honestly.
Yes. A torsion spring under tension can cause serious injury if released without proper tools and technique.
Most springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles, roughly seven to nine years of typical daily use.
Yes, an incorrectly sized spring forces the opener motor to compensate, which shortens its lifespan considerably.
Most spring replacements are completed same-day, often within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
