Signs of a Broken or Failing Spring

Door won’t lift, opener strains or hums, a visible gap in the torsion spring, or the door feels extremely heavy. Stop operating the door and schedule service to prevent further damage.

Why Sizing Matters

Springs must be matched to door weight and height. Correct sizing ensures smooth travel, proper balance, and reduced wear on the opener.

Safety First

Springs are under high tension. Professionals secure the door, unwind safely, and replace components with the right tools and procedures.
