Tremonton, UT – Garage Door Repair

Garage door springs and cables take on an enormous amount of tension every single day, and when something goes wrong, Tremonton homeowners usually notice it fast. Torsion springs sit horizontally above the door on a metal shaft, while extension springs run along the tracks on either side – both types store a significant amount of mechanical energy, and a broken spring often announces itself with a loud bang that sounds like a gunshot inside the garage. Other warning signs include a door that suddenly feels extremely heavy when lifted manually, cables hanging loose or coiled on the floor, and a door that only opens a few inches before stopping. This is not a repair to attempt without proper training, because a spring under full tension can cause serious injury if it releases unexpectedly during disassembly. When a Century Garage Door technician arrives, they start by securing the door in place, then release any remaining tension from the old spring using winding bars before removing the broken component entirely. From there, they measure the spring’s wire size, diameter, and length to match the correct replacement, install the new spring onto the shaft or track, wind it to the manufacturer’s specified number of turns, reconnect the cables to the drum, and test the door’s balance before leaving the job site in Tremonton.
