If your door has become increasingly hard to operate or you’re hearing a popping or grinding noise during operation, it may be time to replace the spring. When the spring coils become rusted, your roll-up door may not stay open or may be difficult or impossible to open from the fully closed position.
To ensure that you’re able to safely replace the springs in your roll-up door, you should familiarize yourself with the steps necessary to complete the task and make sure that you have the proper tools on-hand for the job. If you feel unsure about any of the steps or tools needed to complete the process, you should contact a professional.
Spring Replacement
To get the correct replacement spring for your door, you should measure the opening of the door. Next, you should measure the unloaded inner diameter and length of the relaxed spring from end to end.
To replace your roll-up door spring, you’ll need:
Method 1: Spring Replacement with Removal of Door Assembly
Method 2: Spring Replacement Without Removal of Door Assembly
To learn more about spring replacement, or replacing your roll-up door altogether, contact your local DBCI representative.
