Call 1 (833) 652-7571Torsion and extension springs are what allow a door weighing well over a hundred pounds to lift smoothly with one hand or the push of a button. That also means they are under constant, serious tension, and they are not something to inspect or adjust yourself. Our garage door spring repair and replacement service in Adamstown, MD covers both torsion springs mounted above the door and extension springs positioned along the upper tracks, with every job finished by calibrating the tension so the door lifts evenly.
Identifying whether the door uses torsion or extension springs
Measuring wire gauge, coil length, and inside diameter for a correct match
Replacing springs in matched pairs rather than one at a time
Calibrating spring tension so the door balances correctly
Testing the full range of motion under load
Springs wear down together over time, and the second spring is usually close behind the one that failed. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and helps avoid a second service call in the near future.
Lifespan is generally measured in open-close cycles rather than years, so how long a spring lasts depends heavily on how often the door is used. Regular use naturally shortens the interval between replacements.
No. With a broken spring, the door is essentially unsupported and can drop suddenly or damage the opener if it is forced to lift the full weight alone. Leave the door closed and call for service.
