Garage door problems have a way of happening at the worst time. Whether your door is stuck, a spring broke, the opener stopped working, or something just does not sound right, Mr. Spring Garage Doors provides garage door repair throughout Fridley.
We repair springs, openers, cables, rollers, tracks, panels, and complete garage door systems for homes and businesses.
Fridley has a large number of homes built during the city's growth in the 1950s and 1960s. That means we regularly see garage setups with older doors, aging hardware, and limited space around the garage door system.
Rather than replacing the first broken part we see, we look at how the complete door is operating. Springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and the opener all work together. A problem in one area can put additional strain on the rest of the system.
One example is garage door balance. The springs should support most of the door's weight. When they are no longer doing that correctly, the opener has to work harder every time the door moves.
If your garage door has become unusually noisy, jerky, slow, or difficult to open, it is worth having the entire system checked.
Some garage door problems cannot wait.
A door that will not close can leave your garage exposed. A door that will not open can leave your vehicle trapped inside. Mr. Spring technicians are on standby at all times, and Fridley is within our service area.
Broken springs and cables should be treated carefully. Garage door springs hold a significant amount of stored energy and support most of the door's weight.
A torsion spring is mounted on a shaft above the garage door. An extension spring stretches alongside the horizontal tracks as the door moves.
If a cable has snapped, a spring has broken, or the door has come off its track, stop using the opener and keep people and vehicles away from the doorway until the system can be inspected.
We stock common spring sizes, and most repairs can be completed during the same visit.
Springs wear out over time based largely on how many times the garage door opens and closes.
A standard residential spring is commonly rated for around 10,000 cycles. One cycle is the door opening and closing once.
Cold Minnesota weather does not necessarily cause a healthy spring to suddenly fail, but very cold temperatures can add stress to a spring that is already nearing the end of its life.
If you hear a loud bang from the garage and the door suddenly becomes extremely heavy or will not open, a broken spring is one of the first things to check.
Some older Fridley garages still use extension springs running alongside the horizontal tracks.
These systems may include a containment cable, which runs through the spring and helps keep it from flying across the garage if it breaks.
If you have an older extension spring system and are not sure how it is set up, a technician can inspect it and explain what you have.
A damaged panel does not always mean you need an entirely new garage door.
If the damage is limited to one section and a matching replacement panel is still available for your door model, replacing the individual panel may be possible.
When several sections are damaged or the correct replacement panels are no longer available, replacing the full door may make more sense.
Here are some general pricing ranges:

Garage door springs generally fail because they have reached the end of their cycle life.
Very cold temperatures can add stress to an already worn spring because metal contracts and lubricants become thicker. That is why a spring that is already close to failing may finally break during a cold stretch.

If the door itself is still in good condition and the problem is limited to springs, rollers, cables, tracks, or the opener, repairing it may make the most sense.
Replacement becomes more practical when the door has extensive panel damage, corrosion, structural problems, or you want to upgrade to a newer or better-insulated door.
We can inspect the system and explain both options before you decide.
If your garage door will not open, will not close, has a broken spring, or simply is not operating the way it should, Mr. Spring Garage Doors can take a look.
