Garage door spring replacement in West Yorkshire
For a spring replacement in West Yorkshire, from Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Wakefield 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 West Yorkshire: what to expect
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.
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.
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.
