Keep Your Garage Door Running Smoothly Year-Round
Regular maintenance extends the life of your garage door system and prevents unexpected breakdowns that disrupt your daily routine. Our preventive maintenance service includes inspection of all moving parts, tightening hardware, lubricating rollers and hinges, and testing safety features to ensure everything works correctly.
Seasonal changes in New England can affect your garage door’s performance, making routine maintenance especially important. From winter’s cold to summer’s humidity, our maintenance service helps your door adapt to changing conditions and continue operating smoothly throughout the year.
"Critical Safety Information About Extension Spring Repair"
Extension springs store tremendous energy when your garage door is closed, making them potentially dangerous if handled improperly. These high-tension components can cause serious injury or property damage if they snap unexpectedly or are removed without proper safety precautions. Our technicians are specially trained in safe handling procedures and use appropriate tools and safety equipment when working with extension spring systems. We strongly advise against attempting DIY repairs on any garage door spring components to prevent accidents that could result in serious harm.
All garage door extension springs have a limited lifespan typically ranging from 7-10 years depending on usage frequency, door weight, and environmental conditions. Springs that show signs of stretching, gaps between coils, or visible rust should be professionally inspected immediately. Continuing to operate your garage door with compromised extension springs puts unnecessary strain on your opener motor and other components, potentially leading to more extensive and expensive repairs. Our preventative maintenance services can identify aging springs before they fail, allowing for scheduled replacement at your convenience rather than during an emergency.
Modern garage door systems should always include safety cables running through extension springs as a critical safety feature. These cables help contain the spring if it breaks, preventing it from becoming a dangerous projectile. If your current extension spring system lacks these important safety cables, our technicians can install them during your service appointment. We prioritize not only fixing immediate issues but also upgrading your system to meet current safety standards, giving you peace of mind about your garage door’s operation and your family’s protection.
Get the Answers to Your Garage Door Inquiries
At ABA Garage Door Repair, we understand that you may have questions about your garage door or our services. To help you make informed decisions, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to contact us directly. Our team is always here to assist you with any concerns or inquiries.
How can I tell if my extension springs need replacement?
Look for signs such as gaps between spring coils when the door is closed, uneven door movement, unusual noises during operation, or visible rust and corrosion on the springs. If your garage door seems heavy when manually lifting or shows jerky movement patterns, these are also indicators that your extension springs may be wearing out. Our technicians can perform a comprehensive inspection to determine the exact condition of your springs and recommend appropriate solutions before catastrophic failure occurs.
How long does extension spring replacement typically take?
A professional extension spring replacement usually takes between 1-2 hours for a standard residential garage door. This timeframe includes safety testing and balancing the door after installation. Commercial properties or doors with specialized systems may require additional time. Our technicians work efficiently without sacrificing quality or safety standards to minimize disruption to your schedule while ensuring the job is done correctly the first time.
Are extension springs better than torsion springs for my garage door?
he ideal spring system depends on your specific garage configuration and door specifications. Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks and are commonly found in older installations or garages with limited headroom. Torsion springs mount above the door opening and typically offer longer lifespan and smoother operation. Our technicians can assess your current setup and discuss whether switching from extension to torsion springs might benefit your particular situation, considering factors like available space, door weight, and usage patterns.
What maintenance can help extend the life of my garage door springs?
Regular lubrication of moving parts, annual professional inspections, and addressing minor issues promptly can significantly extend spring life. Proper door balance is essential—an unbalanced door puts excessive strain on springs. Our technicians can perform routine maintenance including spring tension adjustments, hardware tightening, and safety inspections to maximize the longevity of your extension springs and prevent premature wear or unexpected failures.
Why do garage door springs break?
Springs typically fail due to metal fatigue from repeated cycles of tension and relaxation. Most residential springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle equals opening and closing once). Other factors that accelerate spring failure include rust from humidity or salt air, extreme temperature fluctuations, improper installation, or springs that were incorrectly sized for the door weight. Our professional installation ensures you receive the correct spring rating for your specific door, maximizing operational lifespan and performance.
Is it safe to operate my garage door with one broken extension spring?
No, operating your garage door with a broken extension spring is dangerous and can cause severe damage to other components. When one spring breaks, the remaining spring bears excessive weight, potentially leading to opener motor burnout, track damage, cable failures, or complete door collapse. Additionally, the door will be significantly unbalanced, creating safety hazards. If you notice a broken spring, disconnect the opener and keep the door closed until our technicians can replace both springs as a matched pair to ensure proper balance and operation.
