We replace broken torsion and spring replacements with correct sizing, proper balance, and safe installation.
The same six jobs as everywhere else we work, with the parts for the doors common here already on board.
Spring Repair is one of our most common service calls. The job is straightforward when done by a trained technician, but it has serious safety implications when DIY-attempted - which is why we're called every week to fix damage from someone trying to handle it without the right tools or experience.
inspect both torsion springs, measure inside-diameter and wire size, replace with matched IPPT (inches per pound torque) calibrated to door weight, balance and cycle-test
Federal UL 325 is the safety standard governing residential garage door openers. It exists because in the early 1990s, multiple children died in garage door accidents - doors closing on small bodies, doors falling because of broken safety systems. Every modern opener is required to meet UL 325, and we test compliance on every single job:
If your door fails any of these tests, we don't leave until it's fixed - even if you didn't call us about safety. This is non-negotiable. Most "won't close" calls actually trace to a photo-eye misalignment which is a safety system catching a real problem; bypassing it is illegal under UL 325.
Garage door problems in NYC don't wait for business hours. Springs is one of the most-called-about issues in our Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and northern New Jersey service area, and the good news is most cases resolve in a single same-day visit.
The components most-frequently involved in a springs situation are the torsion-spring system (one or two springs above the door, holding stored energy that lifts the door weight), the lift-cable assembly (steel cables on each side of the door connected to drums on the torsion shaft), the photo-eye safety sensors (paired beam-eyes 6 inches off the floor), the opener head unit (motor + logic board + drive train), the trolley and rail assembly (the carriage that physically pushes/pulls the door), and the door panels themselves (4 to 7 horizontal sections joined by hinges).
A correct diagnosis starts at the symptom and walks backward through the system.
Anything outside that range usually involves either a full opener replacement, a full panel replacement, or a complete door replacement - those are bigger conversations and we walk through the full options before any commitment.

Garage door problems in NYC don't wait for business hours. Standard vs High Cycle Springs is one of the most-called-about issues in our Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and northern New Jersey service area, and the good news is most cases resolve in a single same-day visit.
The components most-frequently involved in a standard vs high cycle springs situation are the torsion-spring system (one or two springs above the door, holding stored energy that lifts the door weight), the lift-cable assembly (steel cables on each side of the door connected to drums on the torsion shaft), the photo-eye safety sensors (paired beam-eyes 6 inches off the floor), the opener head unit (motor + logic board + drive train), the trolley and rail assembly (the carriage that physically pushes/pulls the door), and the door panels themselves (4 to 7 horizontal sections joined by hinges).
In Manhattan the spring call usually arrives together with the opener. A garage under a townhouse in the East 60s or a parking level in Chelsea runs the door more times a day than a suburban house does in a week, so the spring reaches the end of its cycle count and the opener that has been straining against it strips its gear in the same season. We replace both in one visit when that is what the door needs, size the spring to the door's actual weight, and set the opener force afterwards so the new motor is not doing the spring's job. Same-day across Manhattan, and the estimate is free.
We’ll inspect and recommend the safest option based on your setup.
If one spring broke, the other is the same age and will fail soon. Replacing both prevents another service call in weeks.
Around Brooklyn, one call gets you a two-hour slot and a heads-up call before the technician sets off. We don't buy leads and nobody on a phone judges a door they can't see.
Free estimate across Brooklyn, NY and the towns around it.
