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.
When one torsion spring fails, the other is on the same cycle clock. We recommend replacing both and explain why.
This is the one repair where licensing and training genuinely protect you, not just the door.
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.
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.
A snapped spring means the door won't move safely. We carry multiple spring sizes on every truck for a same-visit fix.
Older doors with extension springs can be converted to a torsion system for smoother, quieter, longer-lasting operation.
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.
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.
“Diagnosed the exact wire gauge needed and had it on the truck already. No parts run, no delay.”
“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.
This is one of the more dangerous DIY repairs in a home due to the stored energy involved.
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.
A standard spring swap typically takes under two hours on-site with the correct part in stock.
