What does a spring replacement involve in Hamilton?

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.

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 Hamilton garage?

  • Single or pairReplace one or both springs.
  • Correct sizingMatched to door weight.
  • Torsion or tensionBoth spring systems covered.
  • Rebalance and cable checkDoor set to stay part-open; cables checked at the same time.

What does a spring replacement cost in Hamilton?

Guide price: £180–£380 inc VAT. We agree the visit price before we come; parts and any further work are priced before we do them.

This is a chargeable visit, priced up front. If parts are needed, you get the price before any further work is done.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Hamilton?

Until the visit, avoid using a door that is noisy, crooked or heavy. If it is stuck open and you need to secure the garage, call us first; forcing a door with a broken spring or cable is dangerous.
