Garage Door Springs

Timely Spring Replacement

When you have a broken spring, your garage door won’t open before it is replaced. Don’t try to run the opener as it will be under too much strain, working to open the door without the spring. Don’t attempt manual opening as it poses a serious risk of injury, given that the unit is quite heavy. Furthermore, the lift cables may get twisted around the rollers. You can rely on us to replace your broken spring quickly, regardless of its type and manufacturer. We will determine the exact replacement component which your overhead door needs given its size and weight and install it with precision. With accurately set tension, your new spring and the entire door will work properly.

Extension and Torsion Spring Systems

Overhead doors with extension springs are most commonly found in older homes. There are two of these components. Each one is set above the horizontal track. When the door is closed, they are stretched and loaded with force. This is how they counterbalance the unit. During opening, the springs contract and release the energy so that it can be used for lifting the door. Sometimes, these components are left with a permanently stretched coil. This is a serious problem requiring a timely solution. Count on us to replace the damaged spring with a new one of the required size. Torsion springs, on the other hand, are amounted on a shaft above the door. They are wound when the door is closed and unwind to provide the energy needed for its opening. You should not expect stretched coils with these garage door springs. However, they require lubrication to work smoothly.

Installing Oil Tempered Springs

These are torsion springs, but unlike the regular ones, they don’t require lubrication maintenance. This is because the wire, which they are made of, has been dipped in hot oil in advance. This is how they get permanent lubrication. This makes them suitable for residential garage doors which are used more frequently during the day. We install oil tempered springs of all sizes. The specific thing about this type of project is to fit and adjust the spring accurately without leaving any marks.
