As an experienced garage door repair business, we believe that investing in a higher-quality new spring is more effective than paying for an extended warranty.

Remember that scheduling periodic maintenance for your garage every one to two years will help minimise unnecessary wear and tear on all garage system components, resulting in lower long-term repair costs. Loose wires, among other concerns, lead to the premature deterioration of a garage door spring.

While replacing simply the broken spring may appear to be more cost-effective, we advocate replacing all springs on a door at the same time for practical reasons.

●      Uniform Wear and Tear: Springs on a garage door operate together. When one spring breaks, it is apparent that it has completed its projected number of openings and closings. The other spring, which has been used just as extensively, is most certainly reaching the end of its useful life. By merely replacing the broken spring, you risk the older one wearing out sooner.

●      Avoiding Double Service Fees: If you only replace the broken spring now, you're likely to require another service call soon when the older spring fails. This requires paying another service cost, which might have been avoided by replacing all springs at once. In the long run, a complete replacement might be more cost-effective than two individual service visits.

●      Safety Concerns: A garage door with springs at varying wear levels can be dangerous. The older, worn-out spring may not offer appropriate counterbalance, making the door difficult to operate and raising the danger of an accident.

●      Protecting Your Garage Door Opener: An unbalanced door with unequal spring tension can put a load on the garage door opener. Over time, this strain might cause the opening to burn out prematurely, forcing another possibly expensive replacement.
