What does a spring replacement involve in Windsor?

How long do springs last?

Springs are rated in cycles, one open and one close. Several manufacturers rate their springs at about 25,000 cycles, while some standard springs are rated lower. In everyday use many springs need replacing after something like eight to twelve years, sooner on a door that opens many times a day.

Should both springs be replaced?

Where a door has two springs, they have done the same number of cycles, so when one breaks the other is often close behind. Replacing both together, and checking the cables at the same time, is usually better value than a second visit.

Which options are available in Windsor?

  • Rebalance and cable checkDoor set to stay part-open; cables checked at the same time.
  • Torsion or tensionBoth spring systems covered.
  • Correct sizingMatched to door weight.
  • Single or pairReplace one or both springs.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Windsor?

If a spring has broken, a cable has come off or the door hangs crooked, stop using it, keep people and pets clear and do not try to force it open or closed. Leave the operator unplugged until the engineer has checked it.
