Broken Spring Repair & Replacement in Richmond, BC
If your spring just snapped, the door is essentially deadweight — do not try to force it open with the opener or lift it by hand. We do broken spring repair across Richmond and can usually get there the same day.
We replace torsion springs in matched pairs, sized to the weight of your specific door. A single replacement leaves one old spring ready to snap again. Pair replacement is standard practice and we will not cut that corner.
What to Expect on a Repair Call
- We will ask your door dimensions and rough age over the phone to bring the right springs
- One trip in most cases — we carry common sizes on the truck
- We tension and test the door before leaving to confirm balance
- We will let you know the condition of cables and rollers while we are there — no pressure, just information
Replacing Before It Breaks
Torsion springs have a cycle life — most are rated for 10,000 cycles, which is around seven to ten years of typical use. If your spring is getting old, worn, or making noise, it’s worth replacing on your schedule instead of waiting for it to fail. We do scheduled spring replacement across Richmond — you pick the time, we show up, and the door works better than it has in years.
- We confirm the spring size and door weight before ordering — a wrong-sized spring will not balance the door
- Both springs replaced together on two-spring systems
- Cables inspected and replaced if they show wear (common on older doors)
- Door balanced and tested — opener should lift it without straining
- We will tell you honestly if you have got a few good years left or if replacement makes more sense than repair
A broken spring in Richmond does not have to mean a full day without your car. Call (778) 873-7282 and we will check availability, whether it’s an emergency repair or a planned replacement.
