More about this in Pecan Grove

A garage door extension spring replacement swaps the springs that run along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door, rather than a single torsion spring overhead. These are more common on Pecan Grove's oldest garages, and the replacement isn't complete without checking for a safety containment cable running through the spring's center. There is a wider write-up on 24 hour garage door repair Pecan Grove that covers the other faults too.

Call (346) 220-4724 for an extension spring replacement done with the safety cable included.

Why a garage door extension spring replacement includes a safety cable

Older extension spring installations, especially ones from Pecan Grove's earliest construction, frequently went in without a containment cable running through the spring's coil. If that spring breaks under tension without a cable holding it, it can whip loose with enough force to cause real damage or injury. Any garage door extension spring replacement done here now includes adding that cable if it isn't already there.
