What does a spring replacement involve in Billingham?

How do I know a spring has broken?

You may hear a loud bang from the garage, then find the door heavy, opening only a little, or the motor straining. A broken torsion spring shows a visible gap in the coil. A failed tension spring may hang loose or be held by its safety device.

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.

  • Rebalance and cable checkDoor set to stay part-open; cables checked at the same time.
  • Correct sizingMatched to door weight.
