Garage door spring replacement in Stranraer: what to expect
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.
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.
What can you choose for your Stranraer garage?
- 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.
- Torsion or tensionBoth spring systems covered.

You will know the visit price before we book. Any parts or extra work are quoted and agreed with you first.
What should you do until the engineer arrives in Stranraer?
Until the visit, avoid using a door that is noisy, crooked or heavy. If it is stuck open and you need to secure the garage, call us first; forcing a door with a broken spring or cable is dangerous.
