Same-day spring & door repair · Calderwick
The opener lifts
nothing. The
spring does.
When the torsion spring snaps, a 143 lb door becomes 143 lb dead weight. We carry the springs and balance the door the same day.

01 / emergency
The one dead frame
Every other drawing on this page floats in balance. This one cannot. The spring has fractured — a gap in the winding, zero turns left — so the full 143 lb hangs on the cables and the door will not move. This is the call we answer the fastest.

The opener lifts nothing. The spring does — and this one is gone.
Emergency spring replacement · from £189
A broken torsion spring is the one fault that leaves the door dead. The opener will strain, the door will not move, and forcing it bends the panels. We carry matched springs to gauge, wind them to the door’s own weight, and balance the door before we leave.
Spring replacement →02 / off-track
Through the radius
Off-track, roller & hinge repair · from £129
When a roller shatters or a hinge tears, the panel that should articulate through the radius binds instead. We re-seat the door in the track, replace rollers and hinges, and true the vertical rails so the panels curve cleanly onto the horizontal track again.
- Spring wound
- 5.6 turns
- Suspended weight
- 107 lb on the cables
03 / cable & drum
Wound onto the drum
Cable & drum replacement · from £119
The lift cable carries the door’s hanging weight and winds onto the drum as the door rises. A frayed cable or a wrap that has left its groove lets one side drop. We replace cables to length, seat the wraps in the drum grooves, and set both drums to lift level.
- Spring wound
- 3.8 turns
- Suspended weight
- 72 lb on the cables
04 / opener
The opener only nudges it
Opener repair & replacement · from £99
An opener only pushes and pulls a balanced door the last few pounds. If the opener is straining, the fault is almost always the balance, not the motor. We diagnose the balance first, then repair or replace the opener, safety sensors and travel limits.
- Spring wound
- 1.9 turns
- Suspended weight
- 36 lb on the cables
05 / balance
The float test
Tune-up & balance service · from £89
A balanced door, disconnected from its opener, will stay wherever you leave it. We adjust spring turns, lubricate the moving parts, tighten fixings and set the balance so the door floats — which is what makes it quiet, safe, and easy on the opener.
- Spring wound
- 3.4 turns
- Suspended weight
- 65 lb — floating
