Spring Replacement in Redmond

Professional spring replacement for Redmond homes & businesses

Springs do the heavy lifting on a garage door, not the opener. Torsion springs mounted above the door wind up as it closes and release that energy to lift it. Each spring is rated for a number of cycles, and when it reaches the end of its life it snaps, usually with a bang that sounds like a gunshot in the garage.

We measure the wire size, inside diameter and length, weigh the door, and install springs that match it exactly. On two-spring doors we recommend replacing both, since the second spring is the same age and close behind. Every job ends with a balance test, new spring safety cables on extension systems, and an opener force check.

Spring Replacement for the Eastside homes

Many Redmond homes built in the 1990s and 2000s have a single torsion spring sized for the lightest door the builder offered. When owners add insulation, windows or a heavier replacement door, that spring wears out early. Damp, unheated garages also rust springs, which adds friction and shortens their life.

We serve these communities from our shop at 16180 NE 83rd St:

What Redmond customers say

Got home from work and the garage door made a loud bang when I tried to open it. Turns out the torsion spring had snapped. They came out with the replacement spring and had the door working again that afternoon. Very straightforward from the first call.

The opener would hum but the door wouldn't move. I was expecting to need a whole new opener, but they found the problem with the drive system and repaired it. They also checked the safety sensors before leaving. Good experience.

Our garage door started reversing every time it reached the floor. They checked the sensors and opener settings and found that one sensor had shifted slightly. Took care of it during the appointment and didn't try to sell me a new opener.

Door came off the track after one of the rollers failed. I didn't want to force it and make things worse. They got the door safely back on track, replaced the bad roller and checked the rest of the hardware. Finished much quicker than I expected.

Our old opener finally gave up after years of problems. We went with a wall-mount opener with Wi-Fi and battery backup. Installation was neat, and the technician walked us through the controls before leaving. Much quieter than the old setup.

Our garage door was slow, loud and shaking pretty badly. Instead of immediately recommending replacement, they went through the whole system and found several worn components. After the tune-up and roller replacement, it feels like a completely different door.

Our garage door had become really noisy and started shaking during the last few inches of closing. The technician checked the rollers, tracks and balance and found a couple of worn rollers. Replaced those and adjusted the door. It's noticeably quieter now.

One of our lift cables came off and the garage door was hanging crooked. They told me not to try opening it until someone looked at it. Came out, replaced the damaged cable and checked the drums and springs. Door is running perfectly again.

We needed to replace an old garage door that had seen better days. They measured everything, showed us several options and helped us choose an insulated steel door. Installation was clean and the new door looks great with the house.

The bottom seal had gotten hard and cracked, and we were getting leaves and water into the garage whenever it rained. They replaced the seal and adjusted the door so it was sitting properly against the floor. Small repair, but exactly what we needed.

Had a spring problem on a Saturday and wasn't sure if anyone would come out. They were able to schedule us that day. The technician explained why the spring failed and checked the balance of the entire door after replacing it. No complaints.

We had an older garage door with a damaged panel and weren't interested in replacing the entire door. They were able to match the replacement section closely and get everything aligned properly. The repair looks much better than I expected.

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

We don't recommend it. Torsion springs hold enough energy to cause serious injury, and the job needs winding bars, the right spring size and a balance test.

Should I replace both springs?

If your door has two springs, yes. They were installed together, so the second one usually fails soon after the first.

How long do new springs last?

Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 cycles or more last much longer on busy doors.

Can the opener lift the door with a broken spring?

It shouldn't try. Running the opener with a broken spring can strip its gear or bend the top section. Disconnect the opener and book a repair.

Who provides spring replacement in Redmond, WA?

Redmond WA Garage Door Repair provides spring replacement in Redmond, WA and nearby the Eastside communities. We are a local garage door company with upfront pricing. Book online and we'll call or text to confirm a time.

How much does garage door spring replacement cost?

Price depends on spring size, whether you have one or two springs, and whether you choose standard or high-cycle springs. You get the full price before we start.

What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door and twist to lift it. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks and stretch. Torsion systems are smoother and safer.

Can you convert extension springs to torsion springs?

Yes, on most doors with enough headroom. It's a common upgrade for smoother, quieter operation.

How do I know which spring size I need?

We measure wire size, inside diameter and length, and weigh the door. Guessing leads to a door that won't stay balanced.

Why did my spring break in cold weather?

Steel springs are more brittle when it's cold, so a worn spring often lets go on the first chilly morning of the season.
