Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement in Dearborn, MI

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.

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.

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.

Small repairs such as sensor realignment, a roller swap or a limit adjustment are usually the minimum service charge. A torsion spring replacement on a standard double door is the most common job and sits in the low hundreds for a matched pair fitted. Opener repairs depend on whether it is a gear kit or a logic board. You get a flat number before we start, not an hourly rate.
