broken-garage-door-spring

Garage door springs are an integral part of your garage door because they withstand the weight of the door when it opens and closes. Without functional springs, your garage door is effectively useless – and a potential disaster waiting to happen if it falls on something or someone. Allow this not to happen! To complete the job, contact your experienced garage door spring repair specialists: Singh Garage Door Installation.

When a garage door spring snaps while your automobile is still inside, you will be unable to exit the garage. If you see a break in the spring right above the garage door, it will need to be replaced. Additional indicators that you have a broken spring include the following:

  • Even if you pull the manual release, the door will not open.
  • The door is too large to open manually.
  • When the opener is pressed, the door opens barely 3-5″
  • It is possible that the pulleys and cables have snapped and are hanging.
  • As the door swings up and down the track, it may be crooked.
  • Springs break more frequently in harsh temperatures (extreme cold, excessive heat); metal contracts when it’s chilly outside.

If you believe your garage door springs have failed, there is just one thing you should do: contact Singh Garage Doors for prompt, professional garage door spring replacement. Call us before 2 p.m. and we’ll replace your springs the same day!

Three Reasons Your Garage Door Springs Might Require Repair

Repairing garage door springs may be necessary for a variety of reasons. There are numerous reasons for even the best door springs to fail over time, including weather, age, and constant use. The most frequent reasons for repair are as follows:

  • Daily use unavoidably accumulates over time, resulting in misaligned or worn-down springs. Even springs with a lengthy service life eventually require maintenance or replacement, especially if they are utilized often throughout the day.
  • Rust: Humidity and wet weather can cause rust, which corrodes springs and weakens coils. Applying lubricant on a regular basis and scheduling maintenance and repair checks can help to avoid the accumulation of rust.
  • Inadequate maintenance: Neglecting to schedule maintenance checks or inspect your garage door on a regular basis can allow minor faults to escalate, especially during inclement weather.

The Critical Nature of Prompt, Professional Garage Door Spring Repair

Tempted to forego expert assistance in favor of a do-it-yourself garage door repair or spring replacement? We strongly urge you to reconsider.

While garage door maintenance and inspection can be performed alone, it is always recommended that you hire a skilled technician to repair your garage door springs. By retaining prompt and skilled support, you can avoid several significant hazards, including the following:

  • Prevent injury: Torsion springs are what allow incredibly heavy garage doors to move. While experienced technicians have the skills and instruments necessary to properly fix springs, without adequate training and experience, you may jeopardize your safety.
  • Avoid exacerbating the situation: Even a slight error might exacerbate the problem and result in costly repairs. Additionally, do-it-yourself repairs may void your garage door warranty. Reliance on professionals ensures a prompt and effective resolution – as well as your peace of mind.
  • Protect your garage door: Professional garage door spring and cable replacements always maintain your door’s integrity. Our team is trained to identify and resolve any issues that may emerge, ensuring that your door operates properly and remains functional for the long haul.

How Long Will Your Garage Door Springs Last?

Each garage door spring has a unique lifespan that is determined by the number of open and close cycles. Keep an eye on the lifespan and frequency of use of your spring replacement to determine when it may require repair or replacement. This will assist you in proactively preventing problems rather than reacting to them when they occur.

A daily 10,000-cycle spring can survive several years, depending on how frequently it is worked. Springs with twice-daily use will last roughly 14 years, whereas doors opened eight times a day will last approximately three years.

When your overhead door springs reach the end of their useful life, they may lose tension and cease to function properly. At this point, you’ll require expert repairs and replacements.

Same Day Commercial and Residential Spring Repairs and Replacements Service

Whether you’re a homeowner with a normal one or two-car garage or the manager of a large industrial complex, Singh Garage Doors has the knowledge to repair or replace any spring. Depending on how frequently your garage door is used, we offer two different types of high-quality springs:

  • Standard Springs: We back our standard 10,000 cycle* springs with a four-year parts warranty and a one-year labor warranty.
  • Powder-Coated High-Cycle Springs: For longer-lasting performance, choose our 100,000* high-cycle springs. These springs are longer and have a larger inside diameter than traditional springs, they resist rust, last longer, and are guaranteed for life. Excellent for larger families, multiple vehicles, and situations where the garage door serves as a front door.

* Springs are classified according to their cycle count. Each time your garage door opens or closes, a cycle is created. The more frequently you use your garage door, the more wear and tear your springs will endure. Springs will last an average of 4-6 years if you open and close your door 3-5 times everyday.

Is it a single spring or two springs? If you have a two-car garage, industry standards recommend replacing both springs, even if only one is broken. When one spring snaps, it’s natural for the other spring to snap shortly afterwards. Why would you want to pay for another service call? Additionally, because springs must be identical in tension, changing just one is ineffective.

When our skilled and qualified expert arrives, he or she will explain the benefits of each type of spring. We will properly install it on-the-spot because we carry a complete assortment of springs on our vehicles.
