Common spring issues
These are the spring problems we see most often across Adelaide homes.
Torsion spring failure
The most common spring type. Mounted above the door on a metal shaft. When it breaks, you'll hear a loud bang and the door won't lift.
Extension spring failure
Found on either side of the door along the horizontal tracks. When they break, the door becomes unbalanced and dangerous.
Spring fatigue & wear
Springs weaken over time even without breaking. If your door feels heavier than usual or struggles to stay open, the springs may need replacing.
Unbalanced door
When one spring is weaker than the other, the door opens unevenly. This strains the opener and tracks and should be addressed quickly.

Spring repair FAQ
Match replacement springs to the actual door
Spring selection depends on door weight, drum geometry and the spring arrangement, not just the width of the opening. A correctly balanced door reduces load on the opener. Do not loosen spring cones, brackets or tensioning hardware yourself.
What an assessment should cover
- Torsion or extension spring arrangement
- Door weight and compatible spring specification
- Cable condition, balance and safe operation after repair
