Dealing with a broken garage door spring in Cheshire Connecticut. At TJ Garage Doors, we provide fast, safe, and affordable garage door spring repair and replacement for residential customers in the Cheshire area and New Haven County. Garage door springs are the most critical and dangerous part of the garage door system, as they have to carry the full weight of the garage door and operate under tremendous tension. A broken garage door spring makes the garage door impossible to open or close and is a safety hazard. At TJ Garage Doors, we provide fast and reliable garage door spring repair and replacement services.
Understanding Garage Door Spring Types
Residential garage doors have two types of garage door springs. The most commonly used garage door spring is the torsion spring. These springs are mounted on a steel rod located above the garage door and use torque force to open the garage door. The second type of garage door spring is the extension spring. These springs are located in the garage door tracks and extend when the garage door is closed. At TJ Garage Doors, our team will identify the correct type and size of garage door springs that your garage door requires.
Warning Signs Your Springs Need Attention
Each of the springs used in a garage door has a limited lifespan. Standard springs have a 10000 cycle life. The most common symptoms of a faulty garage door spring include a loud snapping or popping sound coming from the garage area, abnormal heaviness of the garage door when attempting to open it manually, a garage door that rises at an angle instead of straight up, a gap or a stretched appearance of the springs, and abnormal difficulties experienced when attempting to open the garage door. If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you should contact TJ Garage Doors immediately. Garage door springs are under a lot of tension and should not be repaired by anyone but a trained professional.
Emergency Spring Repair Service
It can be very frustrating to have a broken garage door spring, especially if you have your car trapped in the garage. At TJ Garage Doors, we offer emergency garage door spring repair services to residents of Cheshire. We understand that a broken garage door spring is an emergency situation that requires immediate attention. Our team of experienced technicians comes well prepared with a full range of springs to ensure that we do not have to make a second visit to replace a faulty garage door spring. Once we arrive at your home, we will quickly set to work to replace your faulty garage door spring with a brand new one.
Premium Quality Springs for Maximum Performance
We ensure that we use high-quality garage door springs in all our repair and replacement services. Our garage door springs come in various cycle ratings. They include standard 10,000 cycle ratings and long-lasting garage door springs rated at 25,000 to 50,000 cycles and above. Although the long-lasting garage door springs are a bit expensive, in the long run, they turn out to be cost-effective. If your garage door has only one spring that is damaged, it is recommended that you replace both springs. This is because the other spring has most probably weakened and is waiting to snap. Regular garage door maintenance is also useful in extending the lifespan of your garage door springs. Our garage door maintenance service involves lubricating your garage door springs, checking them for rust and signs of wear, as well as making sure that your garage door is well balanced. Regular garage door maintenance is recommended at least once every year.
