Garage door spring replacement in Alfreton: what to expect
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.
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.

- Rebalance and cable checkDoor set to stay part-open; cables checked at the same time.
- Torsion or tensionBoth spring systems covered.
