Broken springs and same-day replacement
If you heard a loud bang from the garage and the door will not move, a spring likely failed. We stock common torsion and extension spring sizes for Mequon-area doors and offer same-day spring replacement when scheduling allows, so you are not stuck with an open or unusable garage overnight.
Torsion springs vs. extension springs
Torsion springs mount above the door and twist to lift the panels. Extension springs run along the sides and stretch as the door closes. Both types fail with age and cycles. We identify which system you have, replace worn springs in pairs when needed, and adjust cable drums and hardware so the door stays level.
Why spring work should not be DIY
Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if wound incorrectly. Our technicians use the right winding bars, secure the door, and verify balance and opener force settings after every spring repair or replacement in Mequon.
