Serving Detroit, Livonia, and communities across Michigan, our expertise in garage door torsion springs addresses the challenges posed by the state's climate. Michigan's cold winters and humid summers can impact metal components, accelerating wear. The housing stock, predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, means a variety of torsion spring sizes and configurations are commonly encountered.
Garage door torsion springs are mounted on a rod above the garage door, providing the necessary force to lift and lower the door smoothly. When these springs break or weaken, the door becomes extremely heavy and difficult to operate, often making the garage door opener strain or fail. This is a critical safety issue. The most common reasons for failure are metal fatigue from repeated use and physical damage.
Our repair process involves a detailed assessment of the existing torsion springs and their anchoring system. We measure the dimensions and count the coils of the old springs to ensure an exact match for the replacement. The procedure includes safely releasing any residual tension from the broken springs, removing them, and installing the new, properly tensioned springs. This restores the garage door's balance and ensures safe, efficient operation.
