Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement for Paris 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.
A properly balanced garage door in Paris should lift with one hand when you pull the release cord and stay put wherever you stop it. If yours slams down or springs upward, the spring tension is wrong, and that puts the entire load onto an opener that was never designed to carry it. That is how a cheap spring job turns into an expensive opener replacement.

New insulated door fitted in about four hours. The garage is noticeably warmer and the thing is so quiet I can't hear it from the kitchen anymore.

Owen T.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.
Do you install new garage doors in Paris or only repair them?
Both. We fit insulated steel, carriage-house, glass-and-aluminium and custom doors across Paris, and we remove and dispose of the old door as part of the job. Quotes include the door, track, spring system sized to the weight, labour and haul-away, so the number you see is the number you pay.
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.
Do you handle commercial garage doors in Paris?
Yes. We service rolling steel, sectional, high-speed and fire-rated doors for warehouses, body shops, fleet yards and retail units around Paris. We stock high-cycle springs and commercial operators, and we schedule around your hours where possible so the work happens before opening or after close.
