Expert spring repair in Laval + North Shore
Garage door springs do almost 100% of the lifting work — the opener is just a guide. When a spring snaps in your Laval garage, you'll usually hear a loud bang like a gunshot, and the door becomes dead-weight (often 150 to 350 lb) that the opener cannot safely lift. Continuing to use it will burn out the opener motor, bend tracks, snap cables or, in the worst case, drop the door.
Our techs replace both torsion and extension springs every single day. We stock high-cycle springs sized exactly to your door's weight, drum and drop — not generic 10,000-cycle bargain springs that fail again two winters later. We also replace springs in matched pairs, because a snapped spring almost always means the second one is at end-of-life and about to go.
If your door is stuck halfway open with a broken spring, please don't force it. Call us, and don't park your car under it. A technician can usually secure and repair the door the same day.
