Broken Spring Repair in Collinsville, CT

Broken Spring Repair | BSD Garage Door

A full-service Broken Spring Repair operation built for repeat customers is what BSD Garage Door delivers across the four-state coverage area. Rollers, hinges, tracks, panels, and weather seals all fall within the Broken Spring Repair scope. Every Broken Spring Repair call gets cause-first diagnosis, a stocked van, a written estimate before tools touch the door, and liability insurance plus workers comp on every technician. A workmanship guarantee is standard on every completed Broken Spring Repair visit.

Springs, cables, drums, and openers carry enormous static load and are designed as a system — that matters directly for Broken Spring Repair calls where one failed component often has a contributing neighbor. Treating only the presenting Broken Spring Repair symptom typically produces a callback within weeks when the adjacent part reaches its limit. BSD Garage Door ties balance testing, travel inspection, and hardware torque checks to every Broken Spring Repair job. The result is a door that runs safely and quietly after the Broken Spring Repair visit.

Why spring failure is an emergency

A broken torsion or extension spring means the door has lost its counterbalance. The panels may feel impossibly heavy, the opener may strain or click without moving the door, and attempting to lift the assembly by hand can damage the panels, the opener carriage, or cause personal injury. BSD Garage Door treats spring calls as priority dispatches across MA because an open garage is a security issue and a closed garage can trap vehicles inside. We stock the most common wire sizes and inside diameters on every truck so matched-pair replacement is usually completed in a single visit.

We measure remaining cycle life where possible, inspect cable windings and drum alignment, and verify track plumb before we declare the job complete. If your door uses a TorqueMaster-style enclosed tube or an older single-spring setup that is no longer manufactured, we document the options: convert to standard torsion with a new shaft assembly, replace with an OEM kit when still available, or discuss full-door replacement when the section condition no longer supports safe operation.

Replacement standard: both springs, balanced lift

For two-spring residential doors receiving Broken Spring Repair service, paired replacement is the honest recommendation — not an upsell. Different-age springs on a Broken Spring Repair job put uneven tension on cables, driving uneven roller wear, asymmetric carriage load on the opener, and a door that runs out of balance. On past-mid-life doors scheduled for Broken Spring Repair, the surviving spring typically follows within weeks. The price gap between one spring and a matched pair during the same Broken Spring Repair visit is small; the difference in service intervals is significant. Single-spring systems needing Broken Spring Repair work get one new spring, plus a note on adjacent hardware life.

• Measured door weight and drum/cable match before ordering spring wire — no guesswork on cycle rating.
• Matched pairs on dual-spring doors for even lift and predictable future service intervals.
• Safety inspection of cables, end bearings, center bearing plate, and shaft galling before we wind springs.
• Written torque and cycle notes on the invoice so the next technician understands what was installed.

How we complete a spring repair — step by step

1. Measure current spring geometry: wire diameter, inside diameter, and overall length — these three numbers determine the correct replacement spec for your door's weight, track height, and intended cycle life.
2. Inspect cable windings and drum alignment before touching any hardware — a cable worn to fraying at the drum anchor, or a drum with cracked grooves, gets replaced alongside the springs, not after.
3. Release tension on the failed spring safely and remove both springs from the shaft simultaneously — single-spring replacement leaves an age mismatch that produces cable tension asymmetry within weeks.
4. Install matched-pair replacement springs with safety cables threaded through extension springs when the configuration requires them — the safety cable is what keeps a snapped spring from becoming a projectile.
5. Wind to manufacturer torque specification for your door weight and height — under-wound springs leave the opener pulling too much load; over-wound springs stress the center bearing plate and accelerate shaft wear.
6. Balance test: disconnect the opener carriage, lift door to mid-travel, and release. A properly balanced door stays in place. Run five full opener cycles observing cable tracking on both drums before closing the call.

Do I need to replace both springs at the same time?

For two-spring residential doors receiving Broken Spring Repair service, paired replacement is the honest recommendation — not an upsell.

Single-spring systems get one new spring, plus a note on adjacent hardware life.
