Springs for heavy, older doors.

About half of Snellville's homes went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and few have been added since 2010. Many still have the first or second door, sometimes wood and often heavy, lifted by springs that may have been replaced already. A spring that is too light for a heavy door wears out sooner, so we check the door's weight before we choose one.

01 / TORSION

Spring Replacement for Heavy Doors

Some solid wood doors can outweigh comparable steel doors. We determine the actual weight before sizing springs, choose torsion springs to match and choose torsion springs to match and replace the pair together.

  • Sized to door weight
  • Pair replacement
  • Door balanced after install

Side Springs and Safety Cables

Many 1970s doors lift on springs along the tracks. We check the cables and pulleys, add safety cables where they are missing and replace worn springs in matched pairs.

  • Safety cables added

Re-sizing After a New Door

A new insulated door can weigh more or less than the old one. We re-size the springs to the new weight so the door stays balanced and the opener is not overworked.

  • Springs matched to new door
  • Smoother lift
  • Opener load reduced

Warning signs

Signs a spring is losing its lift.

Stop using it

Drifting Down After Opening

If the door sinks back down after opening, or will not stay halfway, the springs may no longer be carrying the weight. Stop using the door: no opener, no lifting or forcing it. Keep everyone clear and call.

  • Door sinks when stopped
  • Opener works harder
  • Slams on the way down
  • Uneven travel
Age and wear

Worn Coils and Rust

Springs on a door that has run since the 1970s or 1980s may have thinned coils, rust or stretched ends. Keep the door closed and call before it fails.

  • Rust or thin coils
  • Stretched or bowed springs
  • Squeaking from the springs
  • Dry hardware

Spring questions

Snellville spring questions.

Weight, balance and age: the things that decide when a spring gives out.

That can be a sign the springs have stopped balancing the door. With the door closed and nothing visibly damaged, leave it closed and avoid running the opener. A technician checks the springs and cables, then replaces the pair and rebalances the door.
Very much. A spring is sized to the door it lifts, and a solid wood door weighs more than a modern steel one. Springs that are too light wear out early. We weigh the door, choose springs to match and give you a written price.
Many standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles. A family using the garage as the main entrance can reach that in several years, so a busy door may need new springs within several years. Springs with higher cycle ratings exist, but the right choice depends on the door.
If the panels are straight and the track is sound, new springs can give an older door years more use. If the door is rotted, dented or uninsulated, replacement may be better. For Snellville garage door spring repair or a new door, we give you a written price for each so you can compare.
It can be. Some extension-spring doors can be converted to torsion springs; whether it suits a door depends on its weight, headroom and hardware. A conversion removes the side springs and puts a wound spring on a bar above the door, so it takes more than a swap.
A technician checks the balance by hand with the opener disconnected, then tests the safety reverse. With the door open and a 2x4 laid flat on the floor under its middle, the door must reverse on contact when closed with the opener. If it fails, stop using the opener. We explain the findings and provide a written price before further work.
