Home · Services · Broken Spring Replacement
Replacement of a broken torsion or extension spring, the part that actually lifts the door, matched to the door's weight and cycle rating.
Spring replacement is Fall River's winter emergency. The local pattern named in operator copy is springs that fail in cold weather, with nor'easters and the January to February cold snaps the hardest weeks of the year. A spring rated around 10,000 cycles lasts roughly 7 to 12 years of ordinary use, and cold, corrosion near the bay, and a heavy older door all spend those cycles faster. Springs are replaced as a matched pair, wound to the door's actual weight, because the surviving spring of a failed pair is at the same age and the same count.
A broken spring is a same day call when the car is trapped or the door is stuck open, and a do not use it call either way. Never try to wind or unwind a torsion spring with improvised tools: the spring holds enough stored energy to break bones, and this is the one job in the garage that injures DIYers every year.
