Having problems with a faulty garage door spring in Middletown Connecticut. Elevate Pro Garage Doors offers quick safe and affordable spring repair and replacement services for homeowners in Middletown Connecticut and the larger Middlesex County region. Your garage door springs are subjected to the full weight of the door. They are also subjected to extremely high tension. These are the primary reasons that the springs are one of the most critical yet dangerous components of the system. A faulty spring makes the door impossible to use. Moreover any attempts at using the door with a faulty spring are extremely dangerous. We have all the springs that you need. We can replace most of them in under an hour.
How Garage Door Springs Function
Garage doors function with one of two spring systems. In the most commonly used system the torsion spring is mounted on a rod above the door. The spring stores torque or rotational force in the coiled spring. The spring then applies this force against the weight of the door. This type of spring is the most commonly used in the homes of Middletown residents. In the second type of system the spring is mounted on the sides of the garage. These are called extension springs. These springs stretch out when the door closes. We have the correct spring for all makes of residential doors.
Warning Signs of Spring Failure
In most cases springs fail but they fail in a way that gives you ample warning. If you have noticed that your doors have been heavier than normal have been rising unevenly jerk during operation or have had a loud bang from the garage this could be a sign of a faulty or broken spring. Also if you have noticed gaps in the coils of your torsion spring or elongation of your extension spring you should have them replaced immediately. Failure to do so could lead to a complete failure of your spring and this could happen when you least expect it. Therefore we at Elevate Pro urge you to have your garage door spring replaced immediately to keep your loved ones safe and prevent costly repairs to your garage door opener cables and drums.
Professional Spring Replacement Process
As you already know garage door springs have to be replaced and this requires special tools and expertise to do the job safely and correctly considering the high tension in the springs. Therefore we at Elevate Pro have a strict safety protocol to replace your garage door springs. This involves safely releasing tension from the old spring removing the old spring and installing a brand new one accurately adjusted to the weight and size of your garage door. We also recommend replacing two springs not one since they operate in tandem and have the same lifespan. Therefore replacing one spring will only lead to failure of the other original spring in a matter of weeks or months.
High Cycle and Commercial Grade Springs
Standard garage door springs have a lifespan of 10000 cycles and this translates to 7 to 10 years of normal usage. However we also offer high cycle springs which have a lifespan of 25000 to 50000 cycles and this makes them an ideal investment for homeowners who want to have their garage doors serviced less often. Therefore we have high cycle and commercial grade springs for the busy homeowner and business owner in Middletown.
Spring Maintenance and Longevity
The best way to prolong the lifespan of your garage door springs is through regular preventive maintenance. Our Elevate Pro technicians lubricate your springs coils check for any signs of corrosion or fatigue check your door balance and make sure your cables and drums are in good working condition during each service visit. This ensures your springs last longer while making less noise and giving you ample warning before failing rather than breaking unexpectedly.
