Frequently asked questions
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
It's not recommended. Torsion springs store a lot of energy and can cause serious injury; use a trained technician.
Why do springs break in winter?
Springs fatigue with use and cold makes steel more brittle, so many fail on cold mornings.
Should both springs be replaced?
Usually yes — springs wear at similar rates, and replacing both keeps the door balanced.
How do I test my opener's safety reverse?
CPSC suggests placing an object like a roll of paper towels in the door's path; the door should reverse on contact.
Does Illinois license garage door technicians?
There's no statewide garage door license in Illinois; check insurance, reviews and any local registration.
Is your referral service free?
Yes. Requesting a quote is free and there's no obligation.
