Springs & Cables
The counterbalance system — the parts that actually lift your door, and fail most often.
Springs and cables are the muscle and tendons of your garage door: they hold the door's full weight in balance so the opener only has to guide it. They're also the system's wear items — engineered for a counted number of cycles — and together they account for the majority of all garage door repairs.
Everything about them lives here: how long they last, what replacement costs, why they must be sized to the door and replaced in pairs, and the safety reasons this system is professional-only territory. If your door feels heavy, hangs crooked, or made a loud bang, start in this hub.
