Torsion Spring Repair Best Practices

Every homeowner can relate to how life’s inconveniences are thrown at you at the worst possible times. The last thing you want to happen is have your car stuck in the garage when you need it most, especially when it’s only been a couple months, weeks, or even days after your last garage door repair! That’s why our team leads by example and follows the industry’s best practices in order to make the best recommendation to homeowners each time we step foot in a garage.

Best Practice #1 – Replacing Both Springs

Most garage doors have two springs installed at the same time, when one breaks it’s safe to say the second spring’s life expectancy has just about expired. In order to save you from future inconvenience, unsafe garage door practices, and damaging your garage door opener, we will usually recommend to replace both springs. If you’ve had the same tires on your car for a while and one blows out while you’re driving, wouldn’t you replace them both? It’s extremely important to properly maintain equipment such as garage doors and automobiles.

Best Practice #2 – Using The Right Springs

Since garage doors come in all weights and sizes, the right springs need to be installed in order to properly balance the door. If a technician puts the wrong spring on your door, not only will this damage your garage door system, but it will cause the garage door opener to do more work than it was built to do. This is why our technicians only install the right springs for the door’s weight and check their work by performing a balance test.

Best Practice #3 – Safety Inspection

With every spring repair, Garage Door Services of St. Louis provides a free safety inspection to make sure all the hardware and moving parts on your door are in good working condition and meet safety standards. Since the hardware was probably installed at the same as the springs, it’s possible there are worn mechanical parts on your door that are in an unsafe state. Think about spring failure as a symptom to a possibly larger problem with your door. This is why it’s a Garage Service Best Practice to provide a free safety inspection and maintain a safe environment for our customers.
