A residential garage door can weigh as much as two grown adults, and the springs above it are wound to carry exactly that load. Our technicians in Innisfil Park work with winding bars, clamps and stands, secure the door before touching tension, and run it through full cycles before they call the job finished. We serve Bon Secours Beach as well.

ServiceExtension Spring Replacement
Spring size is chosen by measurement, not by guess: wire thickness, inside diameter, length and the door's weight all matter. The services in this group start with those measurements so the new spring matches the door rather than the old part.
Part 1The panels
After an overnight freeze the door stuck to the slab, the opener strained, and something gave. The bottom section is bowed inward, one hinge has torn free of its screws, and the rubber seal along the bottom no longer sits flat.
Part 2The springs
Looking up at the coil above the door, you can see a clean split with a gap of several centimetres between the two halves. The rest of the spring looks fine, but the door has become almost impossible to move by hand.
Part 3The cables
The door went up as usual this morning, then stopped a third of the way with one corner higher than the other. It is wedged at an angle in the opening, the opener is humming, and nothing you press will move it.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
One of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
Part 5The opener
The motor runs, the chain rattles along the rail, and the door does not move a millimetre. You notice the little carriage sliding back and forth on its own.
Garage Door Safety Inspection. On bright afternoons the door goes down a metre, stops, and climbs back up while the light on the opener blinks.
Request a visitThe door is left closed and not operated with the opener, because a door with a broken spring weighs its full weight and can drop. The technician explains what was found, shows you the break, and quotes the spring replacement as its own job, usually replacing both springs on a two-spring door so they wear evenly. The rest of the tune-up either waits or continues on the parts that can safely be serviced with the door down.
It depends on the door, and manufacturers disagree, which surprises many people. Some want the track kept clean and dry, since lubricant there can collect grit and let the wheels skid instead of roll, wearing the roller and the track edge; others specify lubricant at the track bend. The moving parts, roller bearings, hinge pins and springs, get their own lubricant either way, in the type the manual specifies, with a few cycles of the door to spread it.
Each corner of the door is held by its own cable. When one cable stretches, slips its drum or breaks, that corner loses its lift and drops while the other stays up, so the door tips and usually wedges against the track. Setting both cables to the same length and tension is part of every cable replacement, and it is what brings the door back level.
Manufacturers dab a colour on the end coil to indicate the spring's weight rating, which is a handy starting point. It is not the final word: a faded or repainted end coil tells you little, and the pair on an older door may have been a near match rather than the right one. The technician treats the colour as a hint and confirms the rating from the door's measured weight and the spring's own dimensions.
