Garage door spring replacement
Below is everything we do to garage doors, from the smallest adjustment to a complete replacement. If your problem is not obvious, start with a diagnosis visit; the fault is often in a part you would not have guessed.
Winding a torsion spring is not a job for a ladder and a screwdriver.
Off-track resets, panel replacement, hinge and roller swaps, seal renewal and full tune-ups.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

Winding a torsion spring is not a job for a ladder and a screwdriver. It takes proper bars, a secured door and a technician who knows how many turns the door wants. That is the work described in this group.
Part 1The panels
The top section has developed a bend where the opener arm pulls on it. On the way up it flexes visibly, the door hesitates near the top of its travel, and daylight shows through the joint below it when the door is closed.
Part 2The springs
The door drops the last stretch to the floor rather than settling, and when you stop it halfway by hand it slides down instead of staying put. Balance has drifted, and the spring is no longer holding its share of the weight.
Part 3The cables
The door went up as usual this morning, then stopped a third of the way with one corner higher than the other. It is wedged at an angle in the opening, the opener is humming, and nothing you press will move it.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
Every morning the door announces itself: a rattle on the way up, a grinding squeal on the way down, loud enough that the neighbours know when you leave. A spray of lubricant settled it for a day or two, then the racket came back.
Part 5The opener
It is a January morning and the door lifts about a hand's width, groans, and settles back down. When you pull the release and try by hand the door feels far heavier than it used to, and the bottom seal is stuck hard to the slab.

When an opener has failed for the second or third time on the same part, the sensible conversation is about replacement. We lay out what a new unit would do differently and let you decide with the facts in hand.

Windows in a garage door bring daylight into a space that is often dark. Adding glazed sections to an existing door, or choosing a full-view glass door for a workshop or studio, is part of what we do here.

Every square is one home in a hundred.
That is a built-in behaviour, not a new fault. When the sensor circuit reports a problem, most openers refuse to close from a remote but allow a constant-pressure close from the wall control, because someone standing there can see the doorway. It is a strong signal that the photo eyes or their wiring need attention, and once the sensor issue is corrected the door closes normally from every control again.
A door that opens with nobody pressing anything is usually being told to by a fault in its wiring or a control. A pinched or stapled wire to the wall control can short intermittently and act like a button press; a stuck button on a remote left in a coat pocket does the same; and a neighbour's remote on an old fixed-code opener can occasionally trigger it. The technician isolates each control in turn until the phantom command stops.
Three things account for most of these. The wall control has been put into lock mode, sometimes by a child or a visitor, which blocks all remotes until it is released. The opener's memory was cleared, usually by someone pressing the learn button while trying to program a new remote, so every remote needs programming again. Or the receiver in the head unit has failed. The first two are simple settings; the third is a part.
The kindest thing for the door is to leave it where it is and use another entrance. An opener is designed to move a door the springs have already made light; asking it to lift a full-weight door strains the trolley and gear drive and can crease the top section. Keeping the door still and clear of people until the spring is replaced protects the rest of the system from extra repairs.
