What does a spring replacement involve in Glenrothes?

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.

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 Glenrothes garage?

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

  • Single or pairReplace one or both springs.
