The most common garage door failure
Springs do the heavy lifting — the motor only guides the door. After 10,000 to 15,000 cycles (seven to ten years for most Sydney — harbourside, east, inner west and North Shore homes) they fatigue and snap, usually with a bang that sounds like something fell. The door then weighs 80 to 150 kilos dead, the opener can't lift it, and forcing it risks the motor and the cables. Summit Garage Door Repair replaces springs every day, usually within hours of your call.
Galvanised, high-cycle springs that last
We fit galvanised torsion and extension springs rated for 25,000+ cycles — roughly double the life of the budget springs most doors come with — and we replace springs in pairs so the door is balanced and the second one doesn't go next month. Sydney's coastal air is hard on steel; galvanised springs are what it needs.
Balanced, tested, and safe
A spring swap isn't finished when the new spring is on. We wind it to the door's exact weight, check the cables and drums, test the balance by hand, then run the opener's safety reverse. You get a door that lifts with one finger and an opener that isn't straining.
Spring replacement from $249
