Extension or torsion, left-wound or right-wound, spring replacement is precision work. We calculate the exact spring specification before winding anything into place.
Generic hardware-store springs rarely match the door's true weight. We measure and calculate, not guess.
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.
Whatever brought you here, one of these service lines is the fix, and one call gets a technician moving.
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.
Springs rated for 10,000 cycles wear predictably. We'll tell you honestly how much life is left before it becomes an emergency.
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.”
Cost depends on spring type, wire gauge, and whether one or both springs need replacing, confirmed as a flat price before work starts.
On a torsion pair, we recommend both since the second spring is on the same wear cycle, but we'll explain the reasoning and let you choose.
This is one of the more dangerous DIY repairs in a home due to the stored energy involved.
Higher cycle-rated springs can last well beyond a decade under normal household 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.
Same-day dispatch, upfront pricing, and a written warranty on every visit.
