Torsion spring replacement in Atlanta and the metro area
Torsion springs sit on a metal bar above the garage door and twist to lift it. When one breaks, the door usually won't open. We'll line up a technician to replace it, with the price confirmed first.
Signs to look for
- A visible gap in the coils of the spring above the door
- The door won't lift, or the opener strains and stops
- The door slams down quickly when closing
- One side of the door looks lower than the other
What the repair involves
Torsion springs hold a lot of stored force. The technician uses proper winding bars, releases the tension safely, replaces the spring with one matched to your door's weight and height, then balances the door so it stays put when lifted halfway by hand.
How pricing works
You get the price before any work starts. If the technician finds something else once they're there, they tell you that price too, and nothing extra happens without your OK.
Should both torsion springs be replaced?
If your door has two springs, the one that didn't break has been through the same number of open and close cycles. The technician will tell you if it's worn and what replacing it costs. It's your call.
