Hamilton Garage Door Repair Springs

If you’ve ever listened carefully while driving by a neighbour’s house, chances are you’ll hear the distant whir of garage door springs. Those who live in newer homes may not even be aware that these small but essential motors exist, let alone have to be replaced occasionally.

The primary role of garage door springs is to counterbalance the weight of the door so it opens smoothly and closes securely.

Fortunately, replacing a broken spring is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic DIY skills. Here’s what you need to know about your garage door springs.
