Our technician attended a property in Hilbert, Perth, to carry out a garage door spring replacement. The torsion spring on this residential sectional panel lift door had worn out and lost tension, leaving the door too heavy to operate safely.
Torsion springs bear the full weight of a garage door. A failing spring puts dangerous strain on the motor and cables, and the door can drop without warning on anyone underneath.
Our technician removed the old spring and fitted a new torsion spring matched to the door’s weight and size. He wound it to the correct tension and lubricated the shaft, bearings, and hinges.
After installation, he completed our 25-point safety inspection covering the control panel, motor, safety eyes, safety reverse, door balance, rollers, cables, drums, bearings, tracks, hinges, brackets, and bottom weather seal. All points passed.
Hilbert sits in Perth’s southern corridor, where summer heat regularly exceeds 40°C. Daily expansion and contraction accelerates spring fatigue. Homeowners in nearby Haynes, Brookdale, and Armadale face the same conditions. An annual maintenance check helps catch worn springs before they fail.
