How springs work
Your door weighs more than you think.
Spring Lab · torsion spring
The spring does the lifting.
When the door is closed, the spring is wound tight, storing enough energy to lift it. As the door rises, the spring unwinds. That stored energy is why a broken spring is dangerous to handle.

Spring Repair & Replacement questions
Q1Can I open my door with a broken spring?
Please don't. The spring holds the door's weight. Forcing it or running the motor can damage the opener or let the door drop.
Q2Should both springs be replaced?
If your door has two springs of the same age, the other is often close to failing too. Your technician will explain what they find and the price before starting.
Q3Can I replace a torsion spring myself?
We strongly recommend against it. Torsion springs are wound under high tension and need the right tools and training to handle safely.
Q4Can you come today in Adelaide?
Book early and we aim to have a technician with you the same day. If your door is stuck open and your home isn't secure, call the 24/7 line.
