Expert TorqueMaster Spring Repair and Replacement by City Garage Door
TorqueMaster garage door springs are unique, and so is our approach to repairing or replacing them. City Garage Door is your local expert for all TorqueMaster spring issues in Lynnwood and around, keeping your Wayne Dalton Garage Door in top shape.
About TorqueMaster Springs
TorqueMaster springs are designed exclusively for Wayne Dalton garage doors. They are a type of torsion spring that is enclosed in a metal tube mounted above the door.
Available in two types—Original TorqueMaster (pre-2007, with rounded winding ends) and TorqueMaster Plus (post-2007, with steel octagonal winding ends)—these springs expand and contract within the tube, using a winding cone and gears to transfer torque to cables that counterbalance the door’s weight.
How City Garage Door Takes Care of Your TorqueMaster Springs
City Garage Door provides a suite of specialized services in Lynnwood to address all your TorqueMaster needs:
Expert Diagnosis
We have the expertise to accurately identify any issues affecting your TorqueMaster springs. Whether you are experiencing a broken spring, noticing winding malfunctions such as slipping or binding, or observing noises or sluggish door movement, City Garage Door conducts a thorough inspection to identify the exact cause of the problem.
Comprehensive Repair Services
For minor issues that haven’t led to a complete spring failure, City Garage Door offers cost-effective repair services. We aim to extend the lifespan of your TorquMaster springs whenever possible. This way, we help you avoid paying for a full replacement. We carefully assess the condition of your springs and associated components to determine if repair is a viable option.
Professional Replacement
When your TorqueMaster spring is beyond repair, we offer replacement services with genuine Wayne Dalton parts. This guarantees the best durability, performance, and lifespan of your garage door system. Since garage door springs are designed to be used in pairs and generally experience similar wear, it is highly recommended to get both springs replaced at the same time. Proactive replacement ensures uniform cycle life, door balance, and above all lowers the risk of early failure of using older spring.
Precise System Balancing
After any repair or replacement of your TorqueMaster springs, our professionals carefully balance your garage door. Proper balancing is important for smooth and hassle-free operation. An unbalanced door places excessive stress on the springs, the garage door opener, and other hardware parts, which can cause premature wear and tear and even system failure. Our accurate balancing ensures that your door is functioning properly, which increases the lifespan of your entire garage door system.
Comprehensive Safety Inspections
At City Garage Door, safety is always our first concern. As a part of every TorqueMaster service visit, we perform a complete inspection of your complete garage door system. We check cables, rollers, tracks, hinges, and safety sensors for any issues that would jeopardize the safe and reliable operation of your door. By taking care of these potential problems upfront, we prevent future breakdowns and maintain the continued safety of your family and assets.
Signs That You Need to Change or Repair Your TorqueMaster Springs
Given that TorqueMaster springs stay inside the metal tube, it is not easy to tell if they are broken or worn out. Therefore, look for these signs to determine if they are working properly…
Garage Door Won’t Open or Opens Only Slightly
When your TorqueMaster spring is broken, the door may not open or only lift a few inches before stopping. This is because the spring counterbalances the force needed to lift the heavy door. With a broken spring, the door struggles to move, and the opener may not have enough power to compensate. In some cases, the door may lift slightly and then fall back down, indicating a lack of proper tension.
The Door Feels Extremely Heavy When Lifted Manually
To determine if there is a spring issue, pull the red emergency release cord to lift the door manually. If the door feels significantly heavier than usual or requires excessive effort to move, there may be a broken spring.
Loud Bang or Snap Sound
A sudden, loud noise from your garage, such as a bang or snap, is a strong indicator of a TorqueMaster spring breaking. These springs are under high tension within the tube, and when they snap, the release of that tension can produce a startling sound.
Loose or Dangling Cables
Check the cables running along both sides of the garage door. TorqueMaster springs maintain tension in these cables, which wrap around drums to assist in lifting the door. If a spring breaks, the cables may lose tension, appearing loose, slack, or even detached from the drums. This is a clear sign of a spring failure and requires immediate attention to prevent further damage to the door system.
Uneven or Crooked Door Movement
If your garage door opens unevenly, with one side lifting higher or faster than the other, or if it appears tilted, a broken TorqueMaster spring may be to blame. This is especially common in double-door systems, where each side has its spring. A failure in one spring can cause imbalanced lifting, leading to a crooked or misaligned door.
