Garage Door Spring Repair in Kansas City, KS

Your garage door springs are the single hardest-working part on the whole system. A pair of torsion springs mounted on the shaft above the door — or a set of extension springs running alongside the tracks — counterbalances a door that can weigh well over a hundred and fifty pounds, so the opener and your back never have to lift that dead weight. When a spring snaps, it usually goes with a bang loud enough to bring you out to the garage, and from that moment the door is effectively a heavy lid with nothing holding it up.

Spring repair is the bread and butter of what we do at A&E, and it's not a job to improvise. A wound torsion spring stores a serious amount of energy, and the bars, cones, and set screws have to be handled in the right order or someone gets hurt. We replace springs in matched pairs, size them to your door's exact weight and travel, and re-balance the whole assembly so the door floats. In the Fairfax district and the older neighborhoods across Kansas City, KS, we see a lot of doors that have been limping along on one good spring — and that's exactly how the second one ends up breaking, too.
