A torsion spring failing is loud, sudden, and unmistakable. Our technicians match the correct wire gauge and wind direction to your door's actual weight, not a guess off a chart.
A mismatched spring either fails early or overloads the opener. We size it correctly every time.
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.
Higher cycle-rated springs cost a bit more upfront and last considerably longer under daily use.
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.
Sudden spring failure gets same-day priority since a broken spring makes manual operation dangerous.
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.
Technicians arrive with multiple spring sizes and wire gauges already stocked, ready for common configurations.
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.
“Spring snapped with a bang like a gunshot. Tech replaced both springs same day and explained why doing just one wasn't worth the risk.”
“Converted our old extension springs to a torsion system. Door is noticeably quieter and smoother now.”
“Preemptive spring check caught one close to failure before it snapped. Glad I called before it stranded us.”
The exact number depends on your door's specs, but you'll see it in writing before any spring is touched.
Replacing just one often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the cost difference honestly.
We strongly recommend a licensed technician handle any spring work given the forces involved.
Cycle life varies by spring quality and usage frequency, but a decade is a common lifespan for a well-matched spring.
A spring that's too weak puts extra strain on the opener with every cycle, accelerating wear.
Most spring replacements are completed same-day, often within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
