Photo-eyes, the auto-reverse setting and a properly balanced door are what stand between a closing door and a child, a pet or a bike wheel. We test all three on every visit, adjust what has drifted, and explain how you can check them yourself.

Garage door spring replacement
Doors in this climate work hard: freezing nights, salt on the driveway, humid summers. Our services cover the wear that comes from all of it, plus the upgrades that make a door easier to live with, like insulation and phone control.
A crooked door is a hardware door.
Long-lasting doors are not lucky, they are looked after.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

A crooked door is a hardware door. One cable has stretched or slipped, a drum has let go, or a spring on one side has weakened. These are the parts we look at first, and the services here put them right.
Part 1The panels
Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section. What began as bubbling paint is now a soft, flaking strip, the seal retainer is working loose, and a screwdriver pressed against the worst spot goes through the steel.
Part 2The springs
You heard a sharp bang from the garage, and now the opener hums for a second and gives up. The door lifts a few centimetres at most, then settles back down as if something very heavy is holding it in place.
Part 3The cables
After years of slushy winters the cables look thinner near the bottom brackets, with rust streaks running down the door where they attach. The door still works, but the frayed wires catch your glove when you brush past.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
Halfway up, the door hesitates and the opener strains before it carries on. Pulled by hand with the opener released, you feel the same catch at the same height, as if a wheel is dragging instead of turning.
Part 5The opener
You press the remote from the driveway and hear the motor hum overhead, a steady drone with no movement behind it. The door stays shut.

Homeowners come to this group for two reasons: the door has failed, or the door is fine and they want something better. Either way, the process is the same measured, unhurried installation with hardware matched to the new door.

Every square is one home in a hundred.
It can. A new section may be a little heavier or lighter than the old one, particularly if insulation, glazing or a strut differs, and the springs are set for the door's actual weight. After the exchange the technician lifts the door by hand with the opener disconnected and adjusts the spring tension until it holds steady at mid-height. On a bottom-section job the springs are unloaded and reloaded as part of the work anyway.
It is disconnected at the release cord and unplugged before any hardware comes off, so the motor cannot pull on a door that is missing a section. After the new section is in and the door has been balanced by hand, the opener is reconnected and tested: its reversal against a board on the floor and its photo-eyes are checked every time, and the open and close limits or the force setting are reset only if that check shows they need it.
Sections are made to order for a specific model, size, position and colour rather than kept in stock, so there is a lead time from the manufacturer. It varies with the maker, the colour and the season, and the technician confirms the expected timing when the order is placed. In the meantime the door is left in a safe state, either in normal use or braced and closed, depending on the damage.
Once the technician is on site, the door is secured and the spring replaced with the door in its closed position, which is how spring work is always done. When the new spring is wound and the door balances, it lifts normally and the vehicle drives out. There is no need to force the door open beforehand; leaving it closed keeps the door square and the job straightforward.
