Golden Garage Doors provides quick safe and reliable garage door spring repair and replacement services to the Milford CT area and the surrounding New Haven County region. Garage door springs are subject to the full weight of the door and operate at extremely high tension levels, making the spring the most critical and hazardous part of the system. If your spring breaks, your garage door cannot be operated, and any attempt to repair it yourself puts you at great risk of injury. Let the professionals handle the job and have your door working again the same day.
Torsion and Extension Spring Systems
Residential garage doors typically use one of two spring systems: extension springs or torsion springs. Torsion springs are installed on the metal rod located above the garage door and work through a rotating motion that lifts the door panels. They are considered the most common spring system used in modern residential garage doors. Extension springs are installed along the horizontal tracks on both sides of the garage door and operate by stretching and contracting to provide the force needed to lift the door panels. Our technicians are equipped to handle all types of spring systems and have all the spring sizes available to match any residential garage door on the market.
Signs Your Springs Need Professional Attention
These springs gradually deteriorate before they finally break. Some of the warning signs to look out for include a loud bang or snap sound emanating from the garage area, the garage door appearing unusually heavy when lifted manually, one side of the garage door appearing lower than the other side, gaps or elongation appearing in the spring coils, and the garage door opener struggling to raise the garage door. In case you notice any of these warning signs, you should get in touch with Golden Garage Doors immediately.
Same Day Emergency Spring Service
In case your garage door spring breaks, you may find your car stuck inside the garage or your home vulnerable to intruders with the garage door stuck open. In such cases, you need emergency spring service from Golden Garage Doors operating in the Milford area with prompt response times to get you back to normal as soon as possible. Our technicians arrive with a full selection of both torsion and extension springs with standard and high cycle ratings to ensure that we get the job done right the first time without the need to make a second trip to your home.
High Cycle Springs for Prolonged Service Life
Standard garage door springs are rated to last around 10,000 open and close cycles. In cases where you use your garage as the main entrance to your home, we offer high cycle garage door springs with ratings ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 cycles or more. Although the initial cost may be a little higher, the long lifespan of high cycle garage door springs makes them more economical in the long run compared to standard garage door springs.
Preventive Spring Maintenance
However, scheduled preventive maintenance is the best way to extend the life of your spring and catch any potential problems before they cause a sudden failure. Our maintenance service includes lubricating coils to prevent friction, inspecting for corrosion and fatigue, inspecting door balance, and inspecting the safety reversal system. It is highly recommended to have your garage door serviced by a professional at least once a year to ensure every component of your garage door system is operating properly.
