Garage door spring replacement is the job of removing a broken or tired spring from a sectional door, whether a torsion spring on the shaft above the opening or a tension spring running alongside the tracks, fitting a correctly sized new spring and setting it so the door is balanced again. Springs hold a lot of stored energy, so this is a job for trained engineers with the right tools.

Garage door spring replacement on the Isle of Wight: 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.
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.
