Broken Torsion Spring Replacement in Andover, MA
Broken Torsion Spring Replacement in Andover, MA
An Andover homeowner called Triple A Garage Doors when his steel garage door suddenly became too heavy to lift and kept falling back down when he let go. His car was stuck inside the garage, and the opener could no longer move the door.
What We Found
Our technician Sean inspected the system and found a broken torsion spring. On a door with two springs, when one spring fails the other is usually close behind, so replacing both keeps the door balanced and prevents a second breakdown soon after.
What We Did
- Replaced both torsion springs with new custom 2-5/8″ springs sized to the weight of the door
- Balanced and adjusted the door so it lifts smoothly and stays where you leave it
- Tested the full system to make sure the door opens and closes safely
The Result
The door is balanced, safe and working again, and the homeowner’s car is free.
