Garage Spring Repair & Replacement Services
Every part of your garage door system requires maintenance to stay functional. Your garage door springs are no exception. While it is an area you could try to fix yourself, hiring a garage door repair company will save you time, a headache and a potential injury.
When your garage spring stops working, sometimes all you might need is an adjustment. Other times, depending on the part’s age, it might need to be replaced altogether. At A1 Overhead Door Services, our garage door technicians will look at the springs to determine the issue and discuss a solution with you.
Garage Door Spring Types
There are two common types of springs used in a garage door installation. Extension springs are usually located above the upper horizontal tracks on either side of the door. This type of spring uses a counterbalancing force to support the door by expanding.
The second common type is a torsion spring that uses torque to raise the door. A torsion spring will slowly twist and coil on the shaft when force is used. Torsion springs come in several wire sizes and lengths. It is fitted to your garage door’s specific dimensions, including weight and height.

Cable Repairs & Replacement Services
The garage door cables are one of the most important parts of the entire door system. The cables work with the springs to help the door open and close. So when it’s not working, neither is your door.
Have your garage cables snapped? A couple of ways you can tell is if your door is now making noises it didn’t before or if it is shaking as it lifts and lowers. You can also conduct a visual inspection by looking for signs of rust, corrosion, fraying or extra wear and tear on the cables. If you notice something seems off, it’s time to reach out to a professional garage door repair company.
Why Hire A Professional
A trained professional can quickly and safely repair the broken cable.
When a garage door cable breaks, it can leave the door hanging mid-air, causing the other side to bear more weight. This quickly becomes a very dangerous situation where the door could come crashing down on you or your vehicle.
Not every garage cable issue requires a full replacement. The cable could have slipped off the drum. Or, if it hasn’t been maintained properly, the problem could be caused by weak or damaged wires. Whatever the case may be, it’s always best to bring in trained technicians who can assess the situation and quickly make any repairs needed.
