Garage Door Spring Repair

SPRING REPAIR EXPERTS

Torsion Springs vs. Extension Springs

The first step in repairing or replacing your garage door springs is identifying which type of spring system your door uses. The two main types are Torsion Springs and Extension Springs. Assurance Garage Door skilled technicians are fully trained and equipped to handle both types of spring systems.

Assurance Garage Door Spring Repair Best Practices

Life’s unexpected inconveniences often seem to happen at the worst times, like when your garage door fails and your car is stuck inside, especially shortly after a previous repair. At Assurance, we follow industry-leading best practices to ensure we provide the best recommendations for homeowners every time we visit. These practices are designed to save you time and money while keeping your garage door operating safely and smoothly.

Best Practice #1 – Replacing Both Springs

Most garage doors are equipped with two springs installed at the same time. When one spring breaks, the other is likely near the end of its lifespan. To prevent future inconvenience, safety hazards, and potential damage to your garage door opener, Assurance Garage Door typically recommends replacing both springs. Just like you’d replace both tires if one blows out, maintaining both springs ensures your garage door operates reliably and safely.

Best Practice #2 – Using the Correct Springs

Garage doors vary in weight and size, so it’s crucial to install the right springs for proper balance. Installing the wrong spring can damage your garage door system and overwork your opener, leading to a quicker breakdown. This is why Assurance technicians always use the appropriate springs for your door and perform a balance test to confirm their work. DIY spring replacements often pose safety risks due to incorrect spring selection.

Best Practice #3 – Free Safety Inspection

With every spring repair, Assurance Garage Door offers a complimentary safety inspection to ensure all hardware and moving American parts meet safety standards. Since springs and hardware are often installed together, worn components can be a hidden risk. Spring failure could indicate a larger issue with your door, making our safety inspection an essential step in maintaining a secure and functional garage door system.

The Last Spring You’ll Ever Need?

Much like car tires are measured in miles, garage door springs are rated by cycles (1 cycle = your garage door opening and closing once). While many competitors use springs rated for just 15,000 cycles, we use high-grade steel springs rated for 25,000 to over 50,000 cycles! Call Assurance today to get your garage door working flawlessly.

One of the most common questions we hear is, "How much does it cost to replace garage door springs?" The exact price depends on factors like door size, weight, and the type of springs needed (torsion or extension). Since we carry over 30 different types of springs to fit all garage door models, we recommend having a professionally trained technician take accurate measurements before providing a price quote.
