Garage door spring replacement – example of the door type

What does a spring replacement involve in Consett?

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.

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 Consett?

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