In Boca Raton 33431, a morning “bang” signaled a snapped torsion spring. We secured the opening, restored balance, and protected the opener from overload.

South Florida Scene-Setter

High usage and salt air accelerate metal fatigue. Springs typically last about 10k cycles; high-cycle upgrades extend lifespan.

The Problem — Voice of the Pro (Luis Alvarez, Commercial Service Lead)

“The red cone told the story—clean break near the winding end. We never wind springs with the opener connected.”

Safety Box:

• Never wind or adjust springs yourself.

• Keep clear of cables and cones.

• Power down opener until balanced.

Diagnosis — Method & Checklist

• Identify correct wire size, length, and ID.

• Inspect cables, drums, and center bearing.

• Check door weight and balance specs.
