The Reality of Broken Door Delays

A broken spring leaves a 300-lb dead weight that your opener cannot lift. Attempting amateur DIY replacement can cause life-threatening injury.

Common Symptoms & System Scope

Warning Signs Requiring Attention

Loud gunshot-like bang heard from garage
Visible 2-inch gap in the coiled spring above the closed garage door
Opener motor lifts the door 2 to 6 inches and immediately stalls
Door feels excessively heavy (cannot be lifted manually by an adult)
Cables look loose or have spun off the drums

Professional Service Scope

Safe unwinding of residual torque, removal of broken spring coils, shaft bearing inspection, installation of calibrated springs, and exact turn tensioning.

High-grade oil-tempered or galvanized torsion springs rated for 25,000+ cycles

Matched dual-spring replacement ensuring balanced lift and preventing track bind

Properly sized wire diameter, inner diameter, and active coils

Full bearing plate, drum, and lift cable tension inspection included

Eliminates extreme strain on your electric opener motor

Critical Safety Boundaries & DIY Restrictions

Torsion springs store hundreds of foot-pounds of mechanical torque. Only certified technicians using solid steel winding bars should ever touch winding cones.

Technician Rule: Bottom roller brackets, torsion cables, and winding cones are under lethal mechanical tension. Never attempt adjustment without winding bars and professional counterbalance experience.
