Frequently-Asked Questions:
1. Should I change one spring or both springs on a double-wide door?
We normally recommend replacing both because
they normally wear at the same rate, and they usually break within six months of each other. They wear out like car tires, only
you can't tell from looking at them when they are ready to break. Springs break because every time the door opens and closes,
the spring wire bends a little. You may have broken a paper clip or a piece of wire before by bending it back and forth. This is
what happens to springs. If the spring that is not broken has been replaced in the previous year or two, we do not recommend
replacing it. If the other spring looks like it has been replaced, but no one knows, I usually ask the custome to decide.
Newer springs usually look black. Older springs have an orange tint from rust.
2. Should I replace one or both cables?
Unlike springs, cables do not normally wear at the same rate.
Some cables rust at the bottom from exposure to salt only on one side of the door. Many cables fray because of a rough spot
on only one of the cable drums. I never recommend replacing both cables unless I see a problem with the other cable.
