Spring adjustments and tune ups

The part that does all the work, and the one that breaks.

Your springs counterweight a door that can weigh over 150 pounds. They are rated in cycles, they wear out, and when they go the door becomes dead weight. Adjusting or replacing them is a specific skill and genuinely not a do-it-yourself job.

Torsion and extension spring replacement
Springs sized to the real weight of your door
High-cycle springs where the door runs hard

Balance adjustment and re-tensioning
Cables, drums and bearings replaced at the same time
Both springs replaced together on a two-spring door

Why it matters

Three things about springs worth knowing.

They explain most of what people find confusing about garage doors.

They are rated in cycles

A standard spring is about 10,000 cycles. Open and close four times a day and that is roughly seven years. Use the garage as your front door and it is far less.

Replace them in pairs

If one of two springs has gone, the other is the same age and the same cycle count. Replacing one is a second call-out waiting to happen.

They hold real energy

A wound torsion spring is the one part of a garage door that seriously injures people. This is the job to call someone for.

How it goes

The repair.

Usually one visit, usually under two hours.

We weigh the door

Literally. Spring sizing comes off the door weight and the drum, not off a guess.

We release safely

Old springs unwound under control, cables and drums inspected while the tension is off.

We fit and wind

New springs sized to the door, wound to the correct turns, cables set evenly on both drums.

We balance and test

Door should hold at waist height with the opener disconnected, then the opener limits and safety reverse are re-set.

Questions

Before you call.

The things people ask us most on this job.

How do I know a spring has broken?

There is usually a loud bang, and afterwards the door will not lift, or the opener strains and gives up. Look at the shaft above the door: a broken torsion spring has a visible gap.

Can I use the door until you get here?

No. Leave it where it is. Forcing a door on a broken spring is how panels get bent and people get hurt.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates are free on every job, residential and commercial. If you want a number before anyone drives out, send a photo of the door or the opener and we can usually get close on the phone.

How fast can you get here?

Most repairs we can get to the same day or the next, and we take after-hours calls when a door is stuck open or will not close. Call (720) 894-8417 and we will tell you honestly where you sit in the day rather than guess.

What areas do you cover?

The south and west Denver metro: Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Englewood, Ken Caryl, Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Longmont and Castle Rock, where we are based.

Are you insured?

Yes, and we are a family business that has been in the trade 41 years. We will send proof of insurance before work starts if you want it.

Next step

Heard a bang? Call now.

Exceptional garage door repair services!!! Can't recommend Tim highly enough
Peter Sanderson
A-Family installed our garage door, and did a fantastic job! The internal design of our garage created some inherent challenges, but Tim made it happen with some creative workarounds. We are looking forward to having them install a jack shaft opener in the near future. Highly recommend!
Michael Layer
Tim has done work for me on two different occasions. Every time he has gone above and beyond to offer excellent service at a reasonable price. I recommend him highly for all your garage door needs!
Robert Sparks
Great service and quick.
Evelyn LoVerdi Cruz
Don't even question it, just call A-Family Garage Door. Tim was very communicative, explaining everything clearly. The spring had broken, but I had other issues too. In an hour he installed the new spring and resolved all the other problems I've been fighting with this door for 13 years. Tim should be your contact for Garage Doors, no question!

Excellent fast quality service. Resolved all issues and more. Replace broken springs replaced all rollers with new quiet rollers. Replaced cable cables adjusted opening and closing with garage door opener. Garage door works like new or better.

Tim came on short notice to address my door issues. He then made a second trip at no additional charge to address something I was not aware of. Overall Tim and his company are top notch.

A Family Garage Door definitely deserves 5 stars. They repaired our garage door when it refused to open, and the repair has completely stood the test of time. They were prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. It’s hard to find service this reliable. Will definitely use them again if we ever need garage door work!
Matt T
We had an old style garage door from Ankmar that had seen better days and had to be replaced. Tim was very upfront with what needed to be done and the costs. Not only did the door need replacing but needed to be reframed as well. Who knew? The end result was beautiful. We were extremely satisfied. It's nice coming home to a pretty and worry-free door. We'd recommend Tim and AFGD hands down. Very knowledgeable and great service.
Lori Tucker
This is a must. The here guys are great. Not only friendly but very reasonable. They are very efficient and knowledgeable. You couldn’t ask for anyone better. They get the job done and what a difference it makes . I would highly recommend them. Believe me you won’t be sorry and you definitely won’t need anyone else.
