If The door will not lift and you heard a loud bang from the garage.
Then Torsion spring replacement.
A snapped spring leaves a visible gap in the coil; the opener should stay off until it is replaced. Torsion Spring Replacement
Garage Doors in DavisvilleThe bang you heard
at seven this morning.
A torsion spring letting go sounds like something fell in the garage, and then the door refuses to lift. If that happened in Davisville today, we bring the matching spring, replace it as a pair when the door has two, check the cables and bearings beside it, and rebalance the door before we leave.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 58 in 100 homes · older homes
- 23 in 100 homes · mostly attached
- About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.In a mature neighbourhood the garage door is often the single largest feature of the front elevation, so keeping the original look matters. Modern insulated doors come in raised-panel and carriage styles that echo the older designs while running on today's torsion hardware.
- Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).Where housing is mostly attached, the common garage entrance may be a rolling grille or heavy sectional door with access by fob or remote, managed by the property. We service these operators, safety edges and photo-eyes, and coordinate with management so residents keep their access throughout.
What to expect, in questions
Does winter change what you look for?
Yes, mostly at floor level. Months of slush and road salt reach the lowest hinges, the bottom brackets and the loop of each cable before anything else on the door, so those get a close look for rust. The technician also checks whether the bottom seal has been freezing to the slab, how the drive has coped with cold, stiff starts, and whether frost or salt film has been blinding the sensors near the floor.
What lubricant is right for a garage door?
A lubricant made for garage doors, applied lightly to hinge knuckles, roller stems and the springs, following the door maker's own recommendation, since the right product and whether bearings are included varies by manufacturer. General-purpose penetrating oils are thin and wash away, and heavy grease attracts grit. Nothing goes on the track raceway or on a nylon or plastic wheel. The opener's chain or screw rail may take a lithium grease according to its manual, and the manual for your door names what its maker prefers.
What information helps when I call?
Where the damage is, at floor level, near the curve or overhead; what caused it if you know, such as a bumper or a ladder; whether the door is closed, open or stuck partway; whether any roller has come out of the channel; whether there is a spring above the door or springs along the tracks; and the door's rough size. A photo of the damaged length and of a bracket with its screws is very useful.
Can a spring be adjusted rather than replaced?
A spring that is intact but has relaxed slightly can be given a little more tension, within limits, to restore balance; this is a normal adjustment on a door that has settled. A spring with a broken coil is replaced as a unit, since the wire has reached the end of its life. The technician checks the condition of the steel and recommends whichever restores a balanced, safe door.
