What garage door torsion spring repair looks like on Aldine's 1975-era doors

Aldine's median house was built in 1975, which puts a lot of the town's garage doors well past the point where an original torsion spring is still doing its job. A spring rated for a few thousand cycles when it went in decades ago has either already been swapped once or is running on borrowed time, and garage door torsion spring repair on a door this old usually turns up a shaft, bearing plate or cable drum that's worn right along with the coil.

A garage door torsion spring repair that has to account for rust on the shaft

Fixing the torsion spring on a garage door in Aldine, TX: replacing a torsion spring

Older steel components sitting above a garage door don't fail evenly — the coil itself can look fine while the shaft it winds around has started to pit and bind. That's why a proper repair checks the bearing plates and center bracket at the same time the spring gets replaced, instead of just swapping the coil and calling it done.

Torsion spring repair work for a garage door in Aldine, TX: the service tools laid out
