The Role of Garage Door Springs
Weighing around 200 pounds on average, your door relies on springs with high tension for balance and smooth performance. Over time, worn out springs can place an enormous load on the garage door opener. We specialize in oil-tempered torsion springs, known for their durability and longevity with proper lubrication. While galvanized torsion springs are an alternative, they may fatigue sooner. Extension springs, although rare, can be less effective. This could prove dangerous if they break due to their high tension. Thankfully, we are experts in every spring combination, garage door types, and their hardware.
Signs of Worn and Broken Springs
Understanding when your springs need attention is crucial for maintaining the functionality and safety features of your door and garage door opener. Common signs of a spring breaking include a heavy door, uneven balance when opening or closing, or the door falling when open, all of which can be incredibly dangerous. If you observe any of these symptoms, this may mean it’s time to consider professional spring repair services to minimize damage to your panels, coils, cables, and other hardware. Let our experienced technicians come out for an inspection of your current garage door system.
Garage Door Spring Replacement
When it comes to residential garage door spring replacement, safety is paramount. It is not safe to replace your own, as the spring tension is high and can be hazardous if mishandled. Therefore, this should be left to the professionals! Our technicians team at 4 Sons emphasizes the importance of entrusting spring repairs to trained professionals to avoid potential injuries.
While spring replacement should be left to the experts, there are simple maintenance tips you can follow to extend the life of your springs. Regularly lubricating your springs every 6 months to a year with a petroleum or silicone-based spray lubricant can contribute to their longevity and smooth operation. This can also reduce the need for repairs or spring replacement costs.
