Broken Torsion Spring
A snapped spring leaves the door too heavy to lift and unsafe to operate.

Restore the lifting system on heavy commercial doors. We replace torsion springs and cables, check drums and bearings, and rebalance the door.

Local Experience
Heavy use and cold conditions wear commercial springs and cables faster than many operators expect.
Busy doors cycle thousands of times, which wears springs and cables quickly.
Deep cold can reveal a spring already fatigued from heavy use.
We size springs and cables to the door so the operator is not overworked.
We secure the door, inspect the lifting system, replace and adjust parts, and rebalance and test.
We stabilize the door before working on high-tension springs and cables.
We check springs, cables, drums, bearings, brackets, and balance for the cause.
We install correctly sized springs and cables and set the tension.
We rebalance the door and test travel, balance, and operator operation.
