Types of Garage Door Springs
Garage doors use two main types of springs: torsion springs and extension springs. Each type has unique characteristics and requires specialized knowledge for repair or replacement. Our spring repair services include Eugene, OR, the Willamette Valley and surrounding areas.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and use torque to lift and lower the door. They are durable but can fail due to fatigue, rust, or improper maintenance. Broken torsion springs often prevent the door from opening, and attempting DIY repair can be extremely dangerous.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are located on either side of the door and stretch when the door is lowered. They are more common on lighter doors and must be replaced carefully to avoid injury. Broken extension springs can cause the door to slam or fail to lift entirely.
Safe and Professional Spring Repair
Broken springs are dangerous to repair without the right tools and training. Our technician follows strict safety protocols to replace or repair springs efficiently.
Accurate Tension Adjustment
Correct spring tension is crucial for smooth and balanced door operation. We carefully adjust springs to match your door’s weight and design, ensuring proper performance and longevity.
Full Component Inspection
During spring repair, we inspect all related components, including cables, rollers, and tracks. This ensures the entire garage door system operates safely and reliably after the repair.
