Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement for Bath homes and businesses
Torsion and extension springs carry the entire weight of the door, so when one snaps the door becomes dangerous to move by hand. Springs are wound under extreme tension and are not a do-it-yourself part. We replace them in matched pairs, size the new set to your door's actual weight and cycle life, and rebalance the door before we leave.
The most common call we get from Bath is a homeowner who heard a bang from the garage overnight and now finds the door far too heavy to lift. That is a broken torsion spring, and it is the single most frequent garage door failure there is. It is also the one part you should not attempt yourself, because those springs hold enough stored energy to break bones.

Marcus D.Spring repair & replacement questions, answered
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The clearest sign is a loud bang from the garage, often overnight, followed by a door that is suddenly far too heavy to lift by hand. Look at the torsion spring on the bar above the door: a broken one has a visible two to three inch gap. The opener may also hum and strain without moving the door, or move it a few inches then stop.
Should both springs be replaced if only one broke?
Yes, on a two-spring door. They are installed at the same time and wear at the same rate, so the surviving spring is typically within weeks or months of failing too. Replacing the pair costs far less than paying a second callout, and a mismatched pair puts the door out of balance.
How long do garage door springs last?
Springs are rated in cycles, one cycle being one open and one close. A standard 10,000-cycle spring lasts roughly seven years on a door used four times a day. High-cycle springs rated at 20,000 or more cost modestly more and can double that lifespan, which is usually worth it on a door that is the main entrance to the house.
My garage door closes then immediately opens again. Why?
That is the safety reversal doing its job. Either the photo-eye sensors are misaligned or obstructed, or the close-force setting on the opener is too sensitive, or something in the track is physically stopping the door. Check the sensors first: both lights should be steady, not blinking. If they look fine, it is usually a force adjustment.
What brands of garage door opener do you work on?
All the common ones: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Sommer, Overhead Door, Marantec and Wayne Dalton, plus commercial operators. If your unit predates 1993 it has no photo-eye safety sensors, and we will recommend replacement on safety grounds rather than repairing it.
How fast can you get to a garage door repair in Bath?
Most Bath calls booked before early afternoon get a same-day slot, and anything after that is typically next morning. Emergencies such as a trapped car, a door stuck open or storm damage are prioritised and dispatched around the clock. When you call we give you a two-hour arrival window rather than a vague day.
