Torsion springs are the part that fails, and they fail hard: a 7-foot door carries roughly 150 pounds held by springs under extreme tension. Replacing them is not a homeowner job, and springs are always replaced in pairs - a fresh spring beside a fatigued one just breaks the new one early.
Months of persistent damp with little drying time make ventilation and drainage planes the difference between a sound assembly and rot.
A door that reverses on its own, binds halfway or sounds like it is grinding is usually rollers, hinges or track alignment, not the opener everyone blames first.
What the job includes
- Torsion and extension spring replacement
- Opener repair and replacement
