SPRING REPAIRS

Broken Springs? Spring Repair is Our Specialty

One of the most important components of a properly working garage door is the springs. When a garage door spring does break, your door—which typically weighs more than 150 pounds—is unable to open or close. Whether it’s picking up the kids from school or ensuring your garage door is secure to protect your home and family, we know you rely on your garage door working properly.

A word about garage door springs: for most people, replacing their own springs is not practical and can be dangerous. A snapped garage door spring can severely injure a person due to its high level of torsion. You have to replace the spring with the exact same size or the door will not balance properly. You also have to remove and re-install the torsion tube assembly and all its parts. And finally, you have to rewind the springs (which can be very dangerous if one snaps). While there is a popular do-it-yourself guide on the web, it is 10 pages long, requires you to make your own tools and to order parts. In fact, one of our customers bought garage door springs on the web and waited 10 days for them to arrive. When they finally did, he ended up calling us. His new springs were absolutely the wrong size. We traded them with our garage door springs and fixed his door for him. The result: 10 days with no door, a lot of reading and research, the cost of the parts plus his labor, only to have us install the garage door springs in the end. And the worst part is, he could have been badly injured.

We feel it’s best to give us a call and let our experienced, trained garage door technicians do the job and at a very fair price. You’ll be glad you did!
