Garage Door Garage Door Spring Replacement Glen Raven, NC

Our Glen Raven garage door spring replacement calls cluster around corroded springs and cables in the humid air, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.

Glen Raven's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, doors here face high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.

Across Alamance County, the garage door problems we see again and again are corroded springs and cables in the humid air, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.

Spring replacement is the most common high-stakes garage door repair and the one we strongly recommend professional service for. The torque stored in a wound torsion spring can release a winding bar at velocities that send it across a garage; the cost of a professional spring replacement is a fraction of the cost of an ER visit. We replace torsion and extension springs in a single visit, with springs sized by measured door weight rather than guessed by appearance.

The default upgrade we offer is from builder-grade 10,000-cycle springs to 30,000-cycle high-cycle springs. The price difference is small — usually $40-$60 — and the lifespan triples, which means a typical homeowner replaces springs once during the door's life instead of three times. We back 30,000-cycle springs with a lifetime warranty for the original homeowner.

Every spring replacement includes a balance test, opener force/travel calibration to match the new spring tension, a cable and drum inspection (cables wear at a similar rate to springs and often need replacement at the same time), and a quick photo-eye verification. The complete service is one flat-rate visit with no hidden add-ons.

Signs you need garage door spring replacement

• Visible coil gap or break

  A snapped torsion spring shows a clear 2-inch gap between coils where the spring separated. Extension springs that have failed often hang slack.

• Door won't open with the remote

  Modern openers refuse to lift a door without spring assistance — the motor would burn out. Spring failure is the most common cause of 'opener won't lift the door'.

• Door heavy as concrete to lift manually

  With the opener disconnected, a balanced door should lift with one hand. If you need both hands and full effort, the spring tension is wrong.

• Door drops fast and slams

  When you let the door go partway up and it crashes down, the counter-weight system has failed. Stop using the door — manual operation is unsafe.

• Door 7+ years old, never replaced springs

  Builder springs hit 10,000-cycle end-of-life around 7–10 years of typical use. Replacing proactively avoids the crack-of-dawn emergency call.

Common causes & what we fix

• Cycle fatigue

  Springs are rated by cycle count, not years. The clock starts at install and runs every time the door cycles. End-of-life is a predictable event.

• Under-sizing at original install

  Builders frequently spec the cheapest spring that meets minimum requirements. Under-sized springs run at higher stress per cycle and fail earlier than rated.

• Coastal corrosion

  Salt-air pitting weakens spring wire from the outside in. Uncoated springs in coastal zones can fail at 60% of their cycle rating.

• Single-spring on a heavy door

  Builders sometimes use a single torsion spring on doors that should run dual-spring. Single-spring on a heavy door fails roughly twice as fast.

• Lack of lubrication

  Torsion springs need a light annual lubrication to prevent inter-coil friction wear. Dry springs fail noticeably faster than maintained ones.
