Types of Garage Door Springs
Residential garage doors have one of two types of springs to assist in lifting and balancing the doors weight. Torsion springs are mounted to a steel shaft above the door opening and utilize twisting motion to balance the doors weight. This type of spring is commonly used in modern residential doors. Extension springs are mounted to either side of the horizontal tracks and stretch to assist in lifting the doors weight. Dependable Garage Doors offers service to both types of springs and can determine the correct replacement specifications for your specific residential door.
Signs Your Springs Need Service
Standard residential garage door springs have a limited lifespan of 10000 cycles or operations under normal usage. The most obvious signs that your springs need service are if you hear a loud banging or snapping sound coming from your garage if you find that your garage door feels unusually heavy when manually lifting it if you notice that your garage door is opening crooked or unevenly if you see visible gaps or stretching in your springs or if you notice that your opener is straining or cannot lift your garage door. If you notice any of these signs occurring with your springs it is best to contact Dependable Garage Doors right away. Replacing your springs involves extreme tension and should never be attempted by you or any homeowner.

We offer same day emergency spring repair in Bristol because we understand that such situations require immediate attention. We come fully equipped with a comprehensive range of springs in different sizes to ensure that the repair work is completed in one day. We also make sure that the work is well adjusted before leaving the premises.
High Cycle Springs for Prolonged Use
We install premium quality springs that come from the best manufacturers in the industry. We do not install the standard 10000 cycle springs that come as part of the package. Instead we offer high cycle springs that can last up to 25000 to 50000 cycles or more. Although the cost of such springs is higher the long term savings are well worth the cost because the springs last many times longer than the standard springs. It is also important to replace both springs even if only one of them has failed because the other one is likely to be nearing the end of its usable life.
Spring Maintenance for Prolonged Use
One of the most effective ways of maximizing the lifespan of the springs in your garage door is through professional maintenance services. We offer professional maintenance services that include the lubrication of the springs to reduce friction inspection of the springs for signs of corrosion and fatigue as well as balancing the door to ensure that it is working well. It is advisable to have the springs maintained at least once a year to ensure that the entire garage door system is in good working condition.
