Victor H.University Park, MarylandOur shop door jammed halfway on a Saturday. They came out that evening so we could open on Sunday. That mattered a lot to us.
Ola B.University Park, MarylandOur opener had been groaning for a year. They replaced the gear kit instead of selling me a whole new unit. Quiet as anything now.
Priya N.University Park, MarylandYou usually hear it go: a bang like a gunshot from the garage. After that the door feels far too heavy to lift, the opener strains and stops, and you can often see a clean gap in the coil above the door.
We would strongly advise against it. A torsion spring holds hundreds of pounds of stored energy and the winding bars will take your hand off if the spring slips. This is the one job on a garage door that is genuinely dangerous.
Yes. The pair wears at the same rate, so the second is usually close behind. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and saves you a second call-out in a few months.
A standard spring is rated for around 10,000 cycles, which is roughly seven to ten years on an average University Park home. If your garage door is the main way into the house, expect the lower end of that.
If the panels are sound and only the hardware has failed, repair is almost always the better buy. Once sections are cracked, rusted through or the door is past twenty years of hard use, replacement usually costs less over the next five years. We will tell you which it is.
