Fast and Affordable Garage Door Spring Replacements
If you’ve got a broken spring on your garage door and need it replaced fast, you’ve come to the right place. Our customers are out number 1 priority and we endeavour to have your door up and running ASAP. We understand how inconvenient a broken spring can be, taking your door out of commission and limiting both your access and security.
Here at AGG Doors, springs are replaced in sets. This is more a precautionary measure. When your first spring breaks, all the load is thrust on the remaining spring, applying significantly more tension then the spring is used to and greatly weakening the steel coil. Once your broken spring is replaced, the surviving spring (in its weakened state) has to work as efficient as the new spring, and in an effort to keep up, breaks in the process.
There are several signs that can point to a broken spring. These include:
1. The physical appearance.
2. The opener straining to open the door, and in some cases stopping altogether on the way up. You may also find that it closes with a loud thud.
3. The door is too heavy to lift in manual operation.
4. The panel & tilt door opener is running but the chain is not moving.
5. The tilt door pulls to one side and may jam on the side of the opening when attempting to operate the door.
If, upon inspection, you find that your spring is broken, cease using the door immediately, both by opener and by hand, even if it still opens automatically. Continuing to use the opener with a broken spring, even though it may work, will significantly increase the load on the motor and may cause it to burn out, greatly inflating repair costs.
Panel Door Torsion Springs
If you’ve got a broken panel spring, we do need some information to ensure we bring suitable panel door spring replacement. Torsion springs are based on the height and weight of your door. Ideally, we would love to get the diametre, wire size and length of the broken spring (not including the end caps). If you aren’t able to get this, however, knowing the brand, height and width of the door will generally give us enough to go off.
Below is a checklist for relevant information when enquiring about broken garage door springs on Panel Doors, ranging with the most important to the least.
1. The size of the door, ie – 2250mm h x 4880mm w.
2. Brand of the door, ie – B&D, CSI, Steel-Line.
3. Length of the spring, not including the end cap and anchor plate. Always measure the 2 halves of the broken spring and then add together. Springs stretch when they are tensioned, and the good spring will still have tention on it, therefore measuring the good spring will not help us gauge what spring you may require.
4. The length of 10 coils.
5. The inside and outside diameter of the broken spring.
6. The diameter of the wire (should equal length of 10 coils divided by 10).
7. The amount of panels that make up your door, and how many of them have an aluminium bracing running across it (on double panel doors there are usually support braces on the top and bottom panels at the least).
Tilt Door Extension Springs
If you have broken tilt door springs, letting us know how many springs you have on your door in total and whether your tilt door is a jamb or track type tilt door is really helpful. A jamb type tilt door doesn’t have any tracks, whereas a track type tilt door does. This is generally enough for us to go off, however if you happen to have the measurements of your broken spring that is always helpful as well.
