Broken springs are among the most common garage door repair Newport News VA calls we get. A torsion spring is mounted to a metal shaft positioned above the door opening.
The extension springs are mounted to the top tracks on each side of the door. Both types of springs are responsible for supporting the weight of the door. When a spring fails, the door suddenly becomes a dead weight. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician.

Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. We straighten bent tracks and replace worn rollers, tracks and cables on any garage door repair Newport News VA call where the door is not closing level or rubs as it travels.

Century Garage Door Repair Service serves the Newport News area. In the summer the air is hot and very humid.
The humidity often stays very high for days at a time. This kind of environment can cause fast rusting of roller shafts and spring coils that have not been properly lubricated. In the winter, doors are subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can cause old rubber door seals to deteriorate and loosen up fasteners holding track brackets. The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance worth reading before a problem occurs. Hilton Village has many historic single-family homes. Many of these homes have narrow single-car garages and original hardware on the garage doors. These doors were never intended to be opened and closed by a modern garage door opener. Single-family homes in Denbigh and in Kiln Creek were built with torsion spring systems in the 1980s and 1990s. Some of those springs still have life in them, but many wear out before their rated cycle life. Multi-family homes on Jefferson Avenue have high-use doors, which generally wear out faster than doors on single-family homes. Our techs inspect the door and give you a price, and work does not begin until you approve it.
