Calgary project, completed in October
A Fresh Torsion Spring for a Calgary Garage
This Calgary garage door runs on a single torsion spring mounted on the shaft above the door, with a cable drum at each end. We replaced that spring with a new one and left the rest of the setup in place: the same door, the same tracks and the same opener rail.
The visit took between 30 minutes and an hour. For our technicians it was an average spring job, nothing unusual about the door or the garage.

About the repair
What a Spring Replacement Covers
The torsion spring does the heavy lifting on most residential doors. It’s wound to balance the weight of the door so the opener and your arms only have to guide it. When a spring wears out, the door feels heavy, lifts unevenly or won’t stay open.
Swapping a spring means releasing the tension safely, fitting the new spring on the shaft and winding it to suit the door. Our spring replacement for garage doors service page explains the process and what to expect on the day. Spring work is also a good moment to look at the cables and drums, and our team can also fix your garage door cables. Routine maintenance for your garage door helps you catch a tired spring before it gives out.
