It’s better to have one of our service technicians identify the problem than to allow the problem to get worse. Book an appointment today.

Yes. Our technicians see surface rust and stiffness on springs and cables well before the part fails. After a long wet stretch, a part that held up through October can fail when you least expect it. A seasonal check before the rain sets in can catch that early. As part of our service check up for garage doors our technicians look for signs of corrosion on the springs and cables.
As two-spring doors get older, both springs tend to be of the same age and wear. Hence when one fails the other is likely to fail soon. To get the door back to balanced operation as quickly as possible it is sensible to replace both springs at the same time. Our technician will outline the reasons for this but the final decision is yours. A written quote will be provided prior to any work being carried out.
