Garage Door Spring Replacement – Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about garage door spring replacement and repair in Las Cruces, you’ve come to the right place! Below are some common questions asked of the experts at Toby’s Doors about garage spring replacement parts, broken springs and more.
How do I know if I have a broken spring?
You likely heard a loud “bang” and cannot open or close your garage door. If your torsion springs are across the top of the door, you will see an approximate two-inch separation in the spring. If they stretch along the sides, the springs will be in two separate pieces. That means it’s time for a garage door spring replacement.
Does Toby’s Doors have emergency service?
Yes. Contact us now so we can get a technician to your home either today or tomorrow.
One of my torsion springs broke. Do I need to replace the other?
Not necessarily, but common sense tells us to take care of both as they have been under the same stress and pressure. Eventually, the other one will give out, and probably sooner than later. Usually, when one breaks, the other is not far behind. That’s why it is standard practice to replace both when one of the springs go.
How do you replace a torsion spring?
The garage door spring replacement begins by closing the door and disconnecting the garage door opener. Next, the torsion springs need to be unwound carefully and safely disconnected. Depending on the extent of the repair, the torsion apparatus is often removed entirely and new springs put in.
Can I replace my own broken spring?
At Toby’s Doors, we recommend hiring a professional to repair a broken spring or perform a spring adjustment. The springs that lift your garage door are under an extreme amount of tension and a mistake can turn metal parts into a barrage of sharp metal. Your garage door springs can exert a force of up to 500 pounds. The experts at Toby’s Doors have the right tools and experience to safely repair your garage door.
