When it comes to spring repair and replacement, experience and timing matter. Southland Garage Door is your trusted local expert, offering reliable diagnostics, same-day service, and high-quality parts to ensure your garage operates smoothly and safely.
When you call Southland Garage Door, a technician comes to your home and inspects the full spring system before touching anything. Springs do not fail in isolation. A worn torsion spring often puts extra stress on cables, drums, and the bottom brackets, so the technician checks all of those too. You get a clear explanation of what failed and why before any work begins.
Torsion springs sit on a metal shaft above the door and counterbalance the weight of the door as it opens and closes. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side. Both types have a limited cycle life, and a break is usually sudden, which is why the door feels like it dropped or slammed shut without warning. Knowing which type you have helps set the right expectations for the repair.
Replacing springs is physical work that involves high tension. A properly wound torsion spring stores a significant amount of energy, and releasing or winding that tension incorrectly causes serious injury. Southland Garage Door technicians arrive with the correct spring size for your door weight and height, the right winding bars, and the experience to set the tension accurately the first time. You should never attempt to unwind or replace a broken spring on your own.
Once the new spring is installed, the technician tests the door through several full cycles, checks the balance, and adjusts the opener force settings if needed. A balanced door should stay in place if you lift it manually to the halfway point and let go. If it drifts up or drops, the tension needs adjustment. That final balance check is part of every spring repair Southland Garage Door completes, not an add-on.
Nathan is great. He is responsive, competent and honest. I asked him to look at a few different jobs for me and I was very pleased with each one. On one of the jobs, he actually fixed the issue with a single screw instead of recommending a costly replacement. On another he replaced the entire 6 panel door for a reasonable price.
Nate with Southland was awesome. I called him to fix two garage doors that weren’t working. He made time to swing by the next day. He was very thorough and I could just tell he was an all around stand up guy.Ill definitely make sure that I recommend him to anyone that needs garage door service.
Nathan came over to give an estimate. Very knowledgable and knew exactly what was needed to accomplish the job. He came over the next day and finished the job in a few hours. Highly recommend.
We had Nate come by to quote us on a new door system. I can honestly say this guy knows what he's talking about. We are excited to do business with his company. Definitely recommend Southland Garage Door!
