More about this in Alief

Garage door spring installation means putting a new spring or matched pair on a door that either has none left working or is running on a spring that's stretched, rusted or already snapped. The spring does the actual lifting — the opener only guides the door once the spring has taken the weight off it — so the new spring has to match the door's exact weight and width, not just fit the shaft. This fault is one of several covered under emergency garage door repair Alief.

Call (346) 220-4724 and a crew working the Alief area can size and install the spring on-site.

Garage door spring installation on a door that's never had one replaced

A lot of doors in Alief are still running the spring that went up when the house was built, since 40% of the community's housing dates to the 1970s and another 29% to the 1980s. A door on a house that age has usually never had the spring swapped, which means the shaft, bearings and cable drums have never been touched either, and an installation on hardware that old typically turns into a bearing or cable check at the same time rather than a spring swap alone.

Putting in a new garage door spring in Alief, TX: replacing a torsion spring

A two-car door almost always runs on a matched pair of torsion springs rather than one, because a single spring can't balance that much width evenly. Installing just one side leaves the door lifting crooked, binding in the tracks within weeks, so both springs get replaced together even if only one has failed. The write-up on garage door service Alief repair covers a fault that often gets mistaken for this one.

An estimated 11,456 homes flooded in Alief during Hurricane Harvey, and a spring that sat in water even briefly corrodes from the inside of the coil outward, long after the visible rust is wiped off. A spring installation on a home that flooded usually means checking the shaft and end bearing plates for the same corrosion, since a new spring on a rusted shaft doesn't hold its wind for long.
