Five Star Garage Door Repair is able to replace your torsion spring when it breaks or becomes worn out. It is important to contract a reliable company to handle this repair due to the nature of garage doors. Replacing springs can be very dangerous and requires a professional to take care of the repair.

Why Hire a Professional For Spring Repair?

A garage door relies heavily on the tension created by the torsion spring. This piece of heavy equipment can fall during the repair if things are not done properly. Even trained professionals have to exert extreme caution during this process.

When Should Springs Be Replaced?

Even if the spring has not completely broken, a worn out spring should be changed. Eventually, this part is going to break. That is why it is best to make the repair before it causes more damage. Our technicians can inspect the part and determine if it needs to be replaced or not.

Signs Springs Need to Be Replaced

There are many different signs that can alert you that the torsion springs need to be replaced. Some of these signs can include:

  • Gaps or spaces- if the spring does not appear to be tight on itself, then it has become weak. If you are seeing visible spaces or gaps, then it is time to have our professionals handle the repair for you.
  • Rust or excessive dirt- if there is any amount of corrosion on this metal part, it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the spring is going to become weak and break.
  • The door can’t open- one of the reasons that your garage door may not be able to open is due to a broken spring. This is a very common repair that we make daily.

If you are not sure if you need to change out the springs, have one of our technicians come perform general maintenance. Our techs can inspect all of the parts and give you their professional opinion.

How Often Should Maintenance Be Done?

In order to keep your torsion springs in good, working condition, you need to have general maintenance performed. It is said that between 10,000 and 20,000 door cycles, you will need to replace the springs. Maintenance should be occurring before that.
