Garage Door Spring Repair
Fast and Professional Solutions for Your Home
We offer same-day garage door spring service with free estimates to ensure you're never left stranded with a malfunctioning door. Our team is available 24/7 for emergency support because we understand that garage door problems rarely happen at convenient times.
With years of experience handling both torsion and extension springs, we've built a reputation for fast, dependable repairs throughout the area. Garage door springs store massive amounts of tension and can be dangerous to repair without proper training and tools. Our technicians are fully trained in all aspects of spring repair, adjustment, and replacement.
We back our work with comprehensive warranties, giving you peace of mind that your garage door will continue working smoothly long after we leave. Don't risk your safety with DIY repairs when our professional team is just a phone call away.
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Torsion springs mount horizontally above the door opening and twist to create torque. These springs offer smoother operation and typically last longer than extension springs. We recommend torsion springs for heavier doors or high-usage situations.
Extension springs stretch along the horizontal tracks on both sides of the door. They're more common in older homes and typically cost less upfront. However, they tend to wear out faster and provide less balanced operation.
If your door currently has a single spring system, we strongly recommend upgrading to a dual spring setup. Dual springs distribute the workload, run more smoothly, and last about twice as long as single spring systems.
Garage Door Spring Safety Features
Garage door springs store tremendous energy and can cause serious injury if they break. Modern systems include important safety features:
- Safety cables run through extension springs to contain them if they break. This prevents the spring from becoming a dangerous projectile.
- Spring containment systems for torsion springs help control the release of energy if a spring breaks.
Warning labels inform users about proper spring maintenance and safety concerns.
Never attempt DIY spring replacement without proper tools and expertise. At Speedy Automatic Gate Repair, we ensure all our spring installations include these crucial safety features to protect you and your family.
Spring Repair and Replacement Services
Emergency Repair and Replacement
We understand that a broken garage door spring creates urgent problems. That's why our emergency spring repair service is available when you need it most. Our technicians arrive promptly with the right tools and parts to fix your door on the spot.
When springs snap unexpectedly, your garage door becomes essentially unusable and potentially dangerous. Don't try to operate a door with broken springs—this can cause additional damage to your opener and door panels.
Our emergency team carries common spring sizes in our service vehicles to ensure quick replacements. We can typically complete most emergency spring repairs within the same day you call us. Safety is our top priority during emergency repairs. We'll secure your garage and property throughout the repair process.
Custom Spring Solutions
Not all garage doors are the same, which is why we offer custom spring solutions tailored to your specific door. We consider factors like door weight, usage frequency, and climate conditions when recommending springs. For heavier custom doors, we might suggest upgraded torsion springs with higher cycle ratings. These springs last longer and provide smoother operation. Our custom solutions include:
- High-cycle springs (10,000-50,000 cycles)
- Galvanized springs for humid or coastal areas
- Oil-tempered springs for extreme temperature regions
- Double-spring systems for extra-heavy doors
We can adjust your spring tension for perfect door balance, making it easier to open manually when needed. This adjustment is crucial for proper opener operation and long spring life. All custom springs come with our satisfaction guarantee and warranty protection.
Spring Tension Adjustment
Spring tension adjustment is a delicate procedure that requires specialized knowledge and tools. At Speedy Automatic Gate Repair, we understand that improper tension can lead to a door that's too heavy to lift or that closes too quickly, potentially causing damage or injury. Each garage door needs specific tension settings based on its weight, size, and usage patterns. Our technicians use precise calibration techniques to ensure your springs are neither too tight nor too loose.
Incorrect tension adjustment can lead to premature wear of other garage door components like cables, rollers, and the opener itself. This domino effect of damage can turn a simple spring issue into a costly repair. We use industry-standard tools and techniques to measure and adjust tension with accuracy. This careful calibration extends the lifespan of your springs and ensures smooth door operation for years to come.
