Garage Door Spring Repair Middlesex – Safety and Performance You Can Count On

Your garage door springs do the heavy lifting every time you open or close the door. When they wear out or break, the door can become difficult or even dangerous to operate. At Skylift Garage Doors, we specialize in garage door spring repair in Middlesex, using proper tools, training, and parts to restore your door’s performance safely.

Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Attention

Springs can fail gradually or suddenly. You might need repairs if you notice:

• A loud snap or bang from the garage
• The door feels unusually heavy when lifting
• The opener strains or can’t lift the door
• The door won’t stay open on its own
• Gaps in the coils of the spring
• The door looks uneven when opening or closing

Operating your garage door with a damaged spring can cause further damage to cables, rollers, and your opener.

Types of Garage Door Springs We Service

We work with both main types of springs:

Torsion Springs

Mounted above the door, torsion springs use torque to lift the door smoothly. They last longer and offer more balanced movement than other types.

Extension Springs

Installed along the sides of the door, extension springs stretch and contract to provide lift. They require safety cables to prevent accidents if they break.

Inspection & Measurement – We assess the door’s weight and measure for the correct spring size and strength.

Safe Removal – We carefully release the spring’s stored tension before removal.

Professional Installation – We fit the new spring(s) using the correct hardware and alignment.

System Balancing – We adjust tension so the door lifts evenly and stays in place when partially open.

Safety Testing – We check auto-reverse and opener compatibility for reliable performance.

Why Professional Spring Repair Matters

Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause injury if handled improperly. Choosing a professional ensures:

• Correct sizing for your specific door weight
• Proper installation for balanced operation
• Prevention of damage to other door components
• Compliance with safety standards

DIY spring repair is not recommended due to the risks involved.

Extending the Life of Your Garage Door Springs

While all springs eventually wear out, regular maintenance can help you get the most from them:

• Lubricate springs twice a year with garage door lubricant
• Keep the door balanced to reduce strain
• Schedule yearly inspections to spot early wear
• Replace both springs at the same time for even performance

How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

On average, springs last about 7–10 years, depending on usage. High-cycle springs are available for doors used multiple times a day. When replacing springs, it’s important to match them to the door’s exact weight and height for optimal operation.
