Garage door spring replacement in Kirkintilloch: what to expect

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.

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 Kirkintilloch?

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

  • Correct sizingMatched to door weight.
