About this service

Springs let go most often on the coldest mornings of the year, when the steel contracts and the door is at its heaviest with frost, which is why Illinois doors need springs rated for the temperature swing. The technician measures the old spring, weighs the door, and fits a matched replacement sized to the actual panel weight rather than a generic part off the shelf. Two-spring doors get both springs changed together so the door stays level, and the appointment ends with a full-cycle test.
