The SituationA family in Kendall (33156) heard a loud bang and found the garage door stuck at the floor. A visible 2-inch gap in the torsion spring confirmed a break.
On-Site Diagnosis
Single-spring setup at end-of-life (~10k cycles).
Cables intact but showing minor wear; end bearings noisy.
Opener had been overworking; force setting elevated to compensate.
What We Did
Converted to dual torsion springs sized to the door’s exact weight and track geometry.
Replaced end bearings and center bearing, inspected cable drums, and tensioned to spec.
Performed balance test at ¼, ½, and full travel; reset opener force/limits and tested UL 325 sensors.
Lubricated hinges/rollers; documented cycle life and maintenance schedule.
Provided safety briefing on the red emergency release.
Parts & Specs
Matched dual torsion springs (high-cycle option available), center and end bearings, fasteners, professional lubricant.
Compliance & Safety
UL 325 auto-reverse verified; spring winding and set-screw torque recorded.
OutcomeDoor lifts one-hand light, opener strain reduced, and cycle life extended with the dual-spring setup.
Homeowner Feedback
“They were in and out quickly, and the door finally feels smooth again.”
