Professional Garage Door Spring Replacement
A broken garage door spring is one of the most common and dangerous garage door problems. The springs carry the full weight of the door — typically 150 to 400 pounds — and when they snap, the door becomes inoperable and potentially hazardous. Never attempt to replace garage door springs yourself. Call the professionals at Accessible Garage Door And Gates Inc for safe, fast service.
Types of Springs We Replace
- Torsion Springs — Mounted above the door opening on a metal shaft. These are the most common type in modern garage doors and provide smooth, balanced lifting power.
- Extension Springs — Mounted on both sides of the door along the horizontal tracks. Found in older systems and lighter doors.
- High-Cycle Springs — Premium springs rated for 25,000 to 100,000 cycles, ideal for high-use commercial and residential doors.
- Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Springs — Enclosed spring system specific to Wayne Dalton doors. We carry replacements in stock.
Signs Your Springs Need Replacement
- Loud bang from the garage (spring snapped)
- Door won't open or feels extremely heavy
- Door opens only a few inches then stops
- Visible gap in the torsion spring
- Door closes too fast or slams shut
- Cables are loose or hanging
- Door is crooked or uneven when opening
Why Spring Replacement Is Dangerous
Garage door springs are under extreme tension. A torsion spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. This is why spring replacement should always be performed by trained, experienced professionals with the right tools and safety equipment.
