Garage door spring repair is the most urgent common call in Wynnewood and Ardmore, because a broken spring leaves a door that can weigh a hundred pounds or more with nothing holding it up. Trilobite replaces the spring, checks the cables and drums it was working with, and balances the door again.
If you heard a bang and the door will not open, leave it down. Do not let anyone lift it by hand, and do not let the opener keep trying. A quick call tells us what size door you have and what to bring.
Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair

- The top section bends when the opener pulls
How Long a Spring Lasts
Springs are rated by cycles, one cycle being one open and close. A family that uses the garage as its main door can run through a standard spring in a few years. If you use the door many times a day, ask us about longer-life springs.
