Garage door spring replacement
Every service listed here is done by hand, on site, by a technician who explains as they go. Look through the groups below, or call and describe the problem in your own words; both routes lead to the same place.

Balanced doors are lighter on everything: the opener, the hinges, the rollers and the arms of anyone who has to lift them in a power cut. The spring and cable work here is how that balance is set and kept.
Part 1The panels
Years of slap shots have peppered the lower two sections with dents. Each one alone is small, but from the street the door looks tired, and the deepest dent near the centre has cracked the paint and shows bare steel.
Part 2The springs
Nothing broke outright, but the door has grown heavier each winter, opens more slowly and squeals as it moves. The springs on an older door have lost tension and the coils show pitting, so the system is asking for attention before it fails.
Part 3The cables
The door went up as usual this morning, then stopped a third of the way with one corner higher than the other. It is wedged at an angle in the opening, the opener is humming, and nothing you press will move it.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
Every morning the door announces itself: a rattle on the way up, a grinding squeal on the way down, loud enough that the neighbours know when you leave. A spray of lubricant settled it for a day or two, then the racket came back.
Part 5The opener
The door goes up perfectly. Coming down is the trouble: partway to the floor it stops, climbs back to the top, and the light on the opener blinks at you.

Wind-resistant doors have reinforced sections and heavier hardware for exposed sites. If your garage faces open country or a lake, that construction is worth considering, and we install it with the bracing it is designed for.

Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
Doors rarely fail without a hint. If it got louder, slower or heavier before it stopped, say so; that history steers the diagnosis.
Step 3 of 5
We explain the fault in plain terms and check that it makes sense to you before moving on to the repair.
Step 4 of 5
Drop sheets, careful handling of stored items, and a full clean-up. We are guests in your garage and act like it.
Step 5 of 5
Each option comes with what it involves, how long it tends to last and what it means for the opener and the rest of the door.

Keep children and pets out of the garage, do not press the wall button or a remote, and do not try to push or pull the door. If the door is fully closed and the opener is still trying to move it, unplug the opener. Move anything valuable out from under the door if you can do so without touching it. A photograph of the door from a safe distance is helpful to show how it was sitting.
Frequently, in one of two ways. Springs that are worn, broken or mismatched to the door's weight make the opener carry a load it was never meant to, dragging the sections out of line. And whenever cables must be re-seated or replaced, the spring tension has to be released and rewound to do it. The technician assesses the springs at the start and tells you whether they are part of the fix.
Often not. A track that is simply out of plumb, spread at the lip or loose on its brackets is re-formed and re-fixed. Replacement is for rail that has been crushed, kinked or torn by an impact, because a roller passing a tight spot will pop out again. The technician measures the damaged length against the door's roller size and tells you which case you have before any track is ordered or cut.
It helps to have someone present to open the garage, point out anything you noticed and hear how the door should feel afterwards. The technician needs power at the opener outlet, clear space under the shaft for a ladder, and access to both sides of the door. If a vehicle is inside, it stays until the door is working. Being there also lets you approve any extra items, such as bearings or cables, as they come up.
