Torsion and Extension Spring Replacement
Most garage doors in Darien use one of two systems. Torsion springs sit on a steel shaft above the door opening and wind up as the door closes. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on both sides and stretch as the door comes down. Both systems do the same job: they carry the weight of the door so that you, or your opener, only have to move a few pounds.
Every door needs springs sized for its own weight, height and track radius. A spring that “looks about the same” will leave the door unbalanced, wear out the opener and can be dangerous. Our technicians measure the old spring and the door, fit the correct replacement and set the tension so the door stays balanced in any position.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken
- You heard a loud bang from the garage while nobody was using the door.
- There is a visible gap in the coil of the torsion spring above the door.
- The door opens only a few inches, or the opener runs but the door does not move.
- The door is very heavy to lift by hand, or closes too fast.
- The door goes up crooked, or one cable hangs loose.
Please Do Not Try to Open the Door
With a broken spring the full weight of the door is no longer supported. Do not keep pressing the remote, and do not try to lift the door by hand or with a bar – the opener can be damaged and the door can fall. Leave the door closed, keep children and pets away, and call (475) 259-3889. If both springs are the same age we will usually recommend replacing them as a pair, since the second one tends to break soon after the first. A broken spring often damages cables too, so we check the Garage Door Cable Repair side of the door during the visit.
