What Caused the Issue?
Capitol Hill’s mix of historic homes and older garages often means original hardware is well past its intended lifespan. In this case, the torsion spring had reached its cycle limit and snapped, leaving the door stuck and unsafe to use. A broken spring can also cause the opener to strain or stop entirely, which is why immediate repair is essential.
How We Fixed It
Our technicians completed a full spring replacement, including:
- Removing the worn and damaged torsion spring
- Installing a new, correctly sized spring for the 16×7 insulated door
- Rebalancing the door to ensure smooth weight distribution
- Lubricating key components for quieter operation
- Performing a full safety check and functional test
Once finished, the door lifted smoothly by hand and operated perfectly with the opener.
