Introduction to Spring Repair

At Elite Garage Repairs, we specialize in providing top-notch spring repair services in Hamilton for all types of garage doors. Garage door springs play a crucial role in the overall operation of your door, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly and safely. Over time, these springs can wear out or become damaged, leading to a variety of problems. If you suspect an issue with your garage door springs, we’re here to help.

Understanding Garage Door Springs

Garage doors typically have one of two types of springs: torsion springs or extension springs.

• Torsion Springs are mounted above the garage door and are used in heavier, more robust doors. They work by twisting and can safely lift heavy doors when properly maintained.

• Extension Springs are located on both sides of the door and operate by stretching when the door is closed, then contracting to help lift the door.

Both types require specific care and attention. Whether you have one or both types, a malfunction can compromise the safety and functionality of your garage.

Common Signs Your Spring Needs Repair

Identifying problems with your garage door springs early can save you time and money. Here are some common signs that indicate your springs might need attention:

• Door Won't Open or Close Properly: If your door struggles to open, closes too quickly, or is completely immobile, this could signal a spring issue.

• Unusual Noises: Listen for any loud banging, creaking, or snapping sounds when operating your garage door. These noises often indicate that your springs are worn or damaged.

• Uneven Movement: If your garage door moves unevenly or appears to be crooked, this could be a result of a spring imbalance.

• Visible Wear and Tear: Inspect your springs for any signs of rust, stretching, or physical damage.

• Door Opens Very Slowly: If your garage door opens slowly, it might be an indication that your springs are losing their tension.

4. Final Testing: After repairs are made, we test the garage door to ensure it operates smoothly and safely.

Safety Concerns When Dealing with Garage Door Springs

Dealing with garage door springs can be dangerous. These springs are under a significant amount of tension, and improper handling can lead to serious injuries. It's essential that repairs and replacements are handled by professionals. At Elite Garage Repairs, we prioritize safety by utilizing industry-standard practices and tools to ensure both our technicians and customers remain safe throughout the repair process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do garage door springs last?

Generally, garage door springs can last anywhere from 7 to 14 years, depending on usage and maintenance.

Can I replace the springs myself?

While it may be tempting to replace springs on your own, we strongly advise against it due to the inherent risks. Garage door springs require specialized knowledge and tools.

How do I know if I need to replace both springs?

It’s often recommended to replace both springs simultaneously, even if only one has broken, to maintain balance and ensure even wear over time.

What should I do if my spring breaks?

If you suspect your spring has broken, refrain from using your garage door and contact a professional for an immediate assessment and repair.
