Garage door spring replacement in Lanarkshire
For a spring replacement in Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge and beyond, tell us the fault and we will confirm the visit price first.
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 in Lanarkshire: what to expect
How long do springs last?
Springs are rated in cycles, one open and one close. Several manufacturers rate their springs at about 25,000 cycles, while some standard springs are rated lower. In everyday use many springs need replacing after something like eight to twelve years, sooner on a door that opens many times a day.
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.
