Old and new springs in Chapel Hill.
Nearly half of Chapel Hill homes, about 48%, were built before 1990, while another 24% date from the 2000s. That is a wide spread of lift hardware. Older doors may have extension springs along the tracks, and newer ones often have torsion springs above the door.
Extension Spring Replacement
Extension springs stretch along the tracks, using pulleys and cables. We replace them in pairs, check the pulleys and put a safety cable through each spring.
- Both springs replaced
- Safety cable on each spring
- Pulley and cable check
Torsion Spring Replacement
Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door. We size them to the door's weight, replace both on a two-spring door, and balance the door afterwards.
- Springs sized to weight
- Bar and drum check
- Balance test
Spring Type Advice
Some owners ask about changing from extension to torsion springs. Whether that suits a door depends on its weight, headroom and hardware, so we look first and explain.
- Weight and headroom check
- Hardware review
- Written price first
Reading a spring before it fails.
Gap, Bang or Heavy Door
A torsion coil break, a bang, a loose spring, a hanging cable, or a door that tilts, feels heavier or won't lift can mean a broken spring or another lift-system problem. Stop. Don't run the opener or lift it.
- Gap splitting a torsion coil
- Bang from the garage
- Cable hanging or slack
- Door tilts
- feels heavier or won't lift
Squeaks and Rust
A door that squeaks, shows surface rust or lifts slowly and jerkily can be early wear. Book a visit while it still works normally.
