Garage Door Spring Repair Studio City Ca

Garage door springs are mandated by law to last for at least 10,000 up-and-down cycles, or about three years for the average garage door. When one spring breaks, usually at the worst possible time, and in the loudest possible way, you should call a professional garage door repair company without delay. Never try to raise or lower a garage door with a broken spring, or the whole door may come off its tracks and land on the garage floor – or on you!

When a garage door repairman arrives, he may suggest you replace both the broken spring and the unbroken spring. Almost all garage doors today are equipped with two garage door springs, one on each side of the door. There are many advantages to replacing both springs at the same time. For one thing, it’s much less than double the price because you get a deal on the second spring. Once the garage door spring repair expert is up on the ladder, it’s easy and inexpensive for him to do both springs at once.

Another reason to change both your springs when only one is broken is the “shoelace” analogy. If you break one shoelace, do you usually replace just the broken one, or do you buy a whole new set of laces? Most people will buy two new laces, so that the laces are completely equal, for a fresh start.

However, there are situations in which replacement of the broken spring only is advisable by Local Garage Door Repair in Studio City Ca. If the garage door spring on the left side of your door has recently popped, you may want to replace the left spring, to see if it breaks again. If you are experiencing problems with one garage door spring consistently wearing out before the other, a professional garage door repair specialist can determine the cause.

Garage Door Opener Repair

While its unlikely that your garage door opener is the culprit, an older opener can become brittle and lose some of its teeth. This causes the garage door to jerk and bump against the tracks, straining one of the springs.

Garage Door Cable Repair

Your garage door cables are the tendons that pull up your door, but they can easily come loose or separate from the pulleys. In order for your garage door springs to function properly, the cables have to be tightened precisely on both sides.

Service Reviews

Lawrence took my call right away. He came out first thing the next morning. And when we had to re-schedule, he came back the same day after he was finished with all his other appointments. He not only replaced the springs on the door that needed fixing, he oiled and inspected the other door, too. He was nice, friendly, competent, and quick! Oh, and his prices were great! He gave me a discount for no reason, too. 🙂
