Both springs, matched to the weight
One broken spring is a pair that has done its work. We size the set to the leaf. We do not hang a leftover coil from another door.
Wear item — replace both, match the door weight
Garage door spring replacement in Strand
Garage door spring replacement in Strand — snapped or tired springs matched to door weight. Both springs as general practice, not a patented method.
01
A snapped spring should be replaced as a set matched to the door — not patched with a leftover coil, and not sold as a secret method.
Garage-door springs take the weight of the leaf. When one snaps, the door sits dead or the motor strains, and the remaining spring is usually tired. Strand Garage Doors replaces springs on sectional, roll-up and tip-up doors in Strand, Strand and Gordon's Bay. Replacing both, and matching them to the door weight — meranti is not Aluzinc — is general practice. It is not a patented method and not a reason to buy a leftover coil. A spring job is still a visit: we look at cables, drums, balance and whether the leaf itself is finished. A motor that has been lifting an under-sprung door may have suffered; we will say so. We will not invent an interval at which every Helderberg spring must be changed. If the door is off-track or the cables are frayed, those sit on the hardware card and are part of the same honest scope.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
The motor is not the first suspect
A door that will not lift is often a spring. We look at balance before we specify a new operator.
Cables and tracks in the same look
A spring visit is a chance to see drums, cables and alignment. Related hardware is scoped, not dumped as a surprise.
Good fit for
Practical solutions for real properties.
The work is assessed according to use, condition, access and the result required.
- ↗A snapped garage-door spring in Somerset West, Strand or Gordon's Bay
- ↗A door that the motor can no longer lift because the springs are tired
- ↗A meranti or steel leaf that needs springs sized to its actual weight
- ↗A repair visit that should not become a silent new-door quote

Strand site considerations
Spring replacement planned for the local site.
Strand is a garage-door search of its own. Somerset West Garage Doors considers Strand jobs from Somerset West: a new sectional, roll-up or tip-up on a measured opening, a stuck or noisy door, a motor, a coastal material spec. This hub is garage doors for Strand homes — estate garages and openings that take False Bay salt — not a beach essay, not a town-swap doorway, and not a directory paste. Write Strand on the quote. Photos of the opening or the door still start the measure. Helderberg names the basin; Strand is the town on this page. We will not dump neighbouring suburbs as fake local proof, and we will not invent a Strand street address as ours.
Name Strand, then send the opening
Put Strand in the message so the visit is the right town. Photos of the opening or the stuck door start the quote; the site measure sets the spec. This is checked against the spring replacement scope.
Estate and coastal garage doors for Strand homes
House and estate openings, salt on the leaf as a general False Bay condition. Not a day-trip page and not a town-swap doorway wearing a Strand slug. This is checked against the spring replacement scope.
Same contractor, same trade
Supply-and-fit and repair of garage doors — sectional, roll-up, tip-up, motors. Gate motors stay supporting. Kits stay off the site. This is checked against the spring replacement scope.

We test balance by hand before the motor takes the leaf again
