Garage door spring replacement in Falmouth: common questions

Why is spring work not DIY?

Springs store a lot of energy. Winding a torsion spring needs proper winding bars, and releasing tension carelessly can cause serious injury or let the door fall. Please do not attempt it.

Does the spring need to match the door?

Yes. The spring is sized to the door weight, the drum or pulley and the track layout, so wire size, length and diameter matter. We identify the right spring before fitting.

Which options are available in Falmouth?

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

How much does a spring replacement cost in Falmouth?

This is a chargeable visit, priced up front. If parts are needed, you get the price before any further work is done.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Falmouth?

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.
