The torsion spring bar on this new lenox garage had overhead storage mounted directly above it — not a problem on its own, but it complicated access for the spring inspection. Both springs were checked for tension and coil separation. One had lost enough tension that the door was no longer properly counterbalanced. A homeowner would feel that as extra resistance on the way up, or notice the door drifting down when released mid-travel. The spring was replaced and tension set to match the door weight. The storage rack stayed in place. Replacing only the worn spring was the right call here — the second one still had service life remaining. 911 garage door handles garage door repair in the Joliet area, including jobs with limited overhead clearance.
