Garage Door Spring Repair Greater Toronto Area

Torsion or extension, both get replaced in pairs

Your springs do the lifting, not your opener. When one breaks the door goes unbalanced instantly, and it can take the cables and the tracks with it on the way.

Torsion systems run a shaft above the door with the springs wound around it, connected out to the cable drums. Extension systems run a spring along each track, hooked to the cable that lifts the door. Both wear out, and both hold a lot of potential energy while they do.

When a spring breaks we replace the pair, not just the one that went. The springs have done the same number of cycles, so the second one is already near the end of its life, and an unmatched pair pulls the door out of balance. We size the replacement to the finished door’s weight and travel rather than to whatever was on it before.
