Richards-Wilcox Torsion Spring Replacement in Your Area

Richards-Wilcox Torsion Spring Replacement is one of the most common calls we get. A technician will explain what is wrong and what it will cost before starting, and test the door before leaving. Torsion springs replaced and wound correctly, with high-cycle upgrades available. We work on Richards-Wilcox garage doors of every age, from older models to current lines, and carry or can source compatible parts.

Signs you need Richards-Wilcox torsion spring replacement

• A gap in the spring mounted on the bar above the door
• The door slams shut or won't stay open
• Only one side of the door lifts and the door goes crooked
• The door is suddenly too heavy to lift by hand

What usually causes it

• Normal fatigue at the end of the spring's rated cycles
• Rust or lack of lubrication
• An undersized spring working too hard
• A door that's been made heavier with insulation or new panels

Safe checks before you call

• Count the springs above the door. Two-spring doors should have both replaced together.
• Look for rust or dry, squeaky coils, which are signs the spring is wearing out.
• Note how often the door is used each day so the right cycle rating can be chosen.

Still stuck? Our free symptom checker and troubleshooting wizard walk you through it step by step.

Our Richards-Wilcox torsion spring replacement process

1. Clamp the door and unwind the old springs with proper winding bars
2. Measure wire size, inside diameter and length, and weigh the door
3. Install correctly rated springs, upgrading to high-cycle if you use the door a lot
4. Wind to the right number of turns and set the door's balance
5. Lubricate, adjust the cables and test the full travel

Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster doors keep the springs inside the torsion tube and need TorqueMaster-specific parts, which we can source.
