Garage door spring replacement in Wick: common questions
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.
Torsion or tension: which does my door have?
Look above the opening. A steel shaft running across the head of the door with one or two coiled springs on it means torsion springs. If the springs run front to back beside the horizontal tracks, or sit in the vertical side frames, the door uses tension springs. Many standard domestic doors use tension springs; larger, heavier and timber doors and doors with a pass door usually use torsion springs.

Questions from Wick customers
How quickly can you replace a spring?
Common springs can often be fitted on the first visit; unusual sizes may need ordering.

No. Do not use it, including with the motor, and keep people clear. The door can drop and the operator can be damaged.
