Garage Door Repair - HELP!

[Que]

Does anyone one INGO do garage door repair or could recommend someone? We think it's a broken torsion spring and we'll need to get it repaired before we sell our house in a couple of weeks.

Sorry guys, my house is located in Camby, IN.

First of all do no mess around with this unless you know what you are doing, very dangerous. I can give you the name of a company in NW Indiana but based upon your location not sure that will be any help. I had some work done on my garage door and got ripped off totally. Get quotes from several different companies. And beware they are going to try to sell you everything. Good luck.

Torsion springs will kill you. Get on Angie's list and look for a garage door repair company.

We used a-1 garage door in bargersville and we're very happy. Affordable and fast.

Our door would move a bit and stop. Does the spring lack continuity? If a double door, replace both typically,
but that's your call if selling.

I'm not looking to get everything replaced. Anyone ever have this done and can give me an idea what I should expect to pay to get it done?

 

[hoosierdoc]

I think we paid $90 per spring and a $60 visit fee, something like that. It was just under $250 for all of it.

edit:

$196 for all

I have bought springs from these guys before: Professional Garage Door Not sure if they sell winding bars, I borrowed from a friend.

They also offer service at reasonable prices.

Thanks for the suggestions. My wife found a company willing to do the work for $135 and they are coming out tomorrow.

Torsion springs will kill you.

When I worked for the fire department we had a call where a guy (a professional) was installing new springs for a heavy wooden door. His adjustment bar slipped out of his hand. Split his skull wide open. The poor guy was dead before he hit the ground.

The poor lady homeowner was a wreck.

Torsion springs will kill you.
Agreed.
I do a lot of things myself but that one is off limits. I use Milburn.

Pay the money to get them both replaced. If one went the other can't be far behind.

 

[gklatv]

Both springs replacement by the professional company would run around $230-250 in Indy.
Expect to pay about $150-160 for just one.
I'd also suggest to normally get both replaced at the same time ...unless you about to sell your house

 

[Que]

We are about to sell our house. I didn't want anything to go wrong after the buyers get in there, so we replaced both springs for $210.

LOL, when I first read this thread a while back and saw that people were saying the other one wouldn't last long, I immediately thought "Que is the kinda guy who will replace both because he wouldn't do that to someone.". Rep sent.

If any one else reads this and needs service: We also used A-1 with great success.

Note - if your vehicles are trapped inside your garage, that just *may* get you moved up a few spots on the work list....

thanks for this thread. My door is broken also. But it's the kind without the torsion springs. The springs are inside a tube or something. I'm confused by it. It will go down a little ways then stop.

Yeah, I don't believe in karma, but I would certainly feel bad if the door broke as soon at the new owners moved in.

Jason, my wife called Precision Overhead and she thought they were pretty good.

Hey guys,

I own 1st Choice Doors, LLC. we are a garage door company in Avon, IN. We are a smaller 5 person door company and take care of all your needs. If you have any questions feel free to message me or call us at 317-721-3667. We run specials on springs sometimes for 119.00 for one and 149.00 for both. I would happily do this for any INGO members. Rw20kr43 what you have is a Wayne Dalton Torque Master. They have little springs inside the shaft. The springs break sooner since they are so small and under higher stress. The best and cheapest option is to do a spring conversion which switches to standard torsion springs and get you away from Wayne Dalton's system. This will save money both now and in the future.

Just as a bonus I think all my employees are on INGO. This is how we team build at work.
