Loud bang and your door suddenly weighs 150 lbs? You almost certainly snapped a torsion spring. We stock the right springs for Longueuil's housing stock and install most in 60–90 minutes. appointment — waived with any repair.
Confirm it's a spring — not the opener — in 60 seconds
Run these checks before calling so the truck arrives with the exact parts.
Look at the spring(s) above the door
A clearly visible 2–3 inch gap in the coil means the spring snapped. Dual-spring doors may have one intact and one broken — both still need replacement together.
Try lifting the door by hand (motor disengaged)
Pull the red emergency release. If you can't lift the door easily to chest height, the spring isn't doing its job. Stop — don't strain yourself.
Test the opener with no door attached (visual)
Motor runs and trolley moves freely along the rail = opener is fine, problem is the door / spring side.
Check for cable damage
Look at both lift cables along the door sides. Frayed or off-the-drum cables often accompany spring failure on Longueuil's older 1970s-90s doors.
Spring confirmed broken? Stop running the opener. Call us — our South Shore depot ships techs to Longueuil in 30–60 minutes.

Why Longueuil garage springs fail — 6 real causes
Drawn from our South Shore service log.
End-of-life cycle fatigue
highStandard 10,000-cycle springs last 7–9 years. Many Vieux-Longueuil and Saint-Hubert homes from the early 2000s are at peak failure age right now.
Cold-snap brittleness
highSprings become brittle below -20 °C. South Shore wind chills off the river make spring failure even more abrupt than the island.
Older single-spring doors
highMany 1970s-80s Greenfield Park and Le Moyne homes have single-spring setups — when it fails, there's zero redundancy.
Mismatched spring for door weight
mediumInsulated R-16 doors installed over a 1980s wood-door spring overwork the coil and burn through cycle life in 3–5 years.
Salt corrosion from spring melt
mediumGarages along Boulevard Taschereau and major arteries collect heavy road-salt humidity that rusts spring coils.
Zero lubrication maintenance
lowSprings need annual silicone lubrication. Almost no Longueuil homeowner has ever done this — dry springs self-destruct faster.

"Other companies quoted $850+. These guys did it for under $500 and showed me the worn cable that needed replacing too. Honest and bilingual."
