That bang at 6 AM was the spring — leave the door down — across Wellesley, Newton, Natick, Needham, Framingham, Weston, Brookline.
Garage door springs in Massachusetts have a favorite morning: the first real cold snap. Steel loses flexibility as the temperature falls, a coil that was already tired gives up with a crack like a two-by-four snapping, and the door becomes two hundred pounds of dead weight the opener was never built to lift. If that just happened at your house — leave the door closed. A wound spring stores serious energy, and spring work is where garage-door injuries actually happen.
We size every replacement from the door itself: measured weight, wire gauge, coil length and diameter. It matters here more than most places, because MetroWest doors run from light builder steel to heavy insulated and custom wood doors on estate garages — and a chart guess that's close enough in a mild climate fails early in this one. High-cycle, coated springs, wound to spec, tested balanced.
Cold is the executioner of garage door springs. Every winter night stiffens the steel; every freeze-thaw swing works the micro-cracks a little wider; the damp of an unheated New England garage pits the coil in between. That's why our phone rings hardest the morning after the year's first single-digit night. Coated, high-cycle springs with real headroom over the door's weight are how we get your door off that calendar.
