Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement for Port Hope 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.
There is no such thing as a convenient time for a garage door to fail in Port Hope. It happens at 6am when the car is trapped inside, or at 11pm when the door is stuck wide open and everything in the garage is on display. We answer the phone at both of those hours and we give you a real arrival window rather than a vague promise.
Call (888) 904-6236 any hour, or see everything we cover on our Port Hope garage door page.

Our opener had been groaning for months. Turned out to be the gear kit, not the whole motor like the other company told us. Saved us about four hundred dollars.

Simon Y.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.
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for a door that gets normal daily use, and twice if it is the main entrance to the house or a commercial door cycling dozens of times a day. Michigan winters are particularly hard on cables and rollers, so a service in autumn catches problems before the cold makes them worse.
Do you handle commercial garage doors in Port Hope?
Yes. We service rolling steel, sectional, high-speed and fire-rated doors for warehouses, body shops, fleet yards and retail units around Port Hope. 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.
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.
