Extension Spring Replacement in Denver
If your garage door uses extension springs, you have a system that stores mechanical energy by stretching along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. Unlike torsion springs that twist, extension springs expand and contract with every cycle. Over time, the repeated stretching causes metal fatigue, especially here in Denver where dry air and temperature swings accelerate wear on the steel. When an extension spring breaks, the door becomes heavy, unbalanced, and potentially dangerous to operate.
The replacement process for extension springs is methodical and requires careful attention to safety. We begin by releasing tension from the existing springs using winding bars and safety cables. The old springs are then removed from the pulley system and track brackets. We measure the wire size, coil count, and overall length to match the original specifications exactly. New commercial-grade extension springs are installed with fresh safety cables running through the center of each spring. If the safety cable is frayed or missing, it must be replaced to prevent the spring from becoming a projectile if it breaks. We also lubricate the pulleys and inspect the rollers and hinges while the door is accessible. The tension is then set by adjusting the spring length on the S-hooks, balancing the door so it stays open at waist height without assistance.
For Denver properties, extension spring replacement matters because your garage door operates in a climate of extreme temperature variation, dry winter air, and occasional high winds. These conditions cause springs to lose temper and snap sooner than in milder regions. A failed extension spring can damage your door panels, bend the tracks, or cause the door to slam down unexpectedly. Replacing both springs at the same time, even if only one has failed, ensures balanced tension and extends the life of your opener and hardware.
