Garage Door Repairs Sussex

Garage Door Repairs Sussex. This garage door repair in Sussex was to replace a garage door spring on a Cardale garage door. The older type, double Cardale garage doors often only have a single black spring on each side. These are often referred to as a blue spot spring. Over the years, metal fatigue can cause the loop on the spring to break. The spring will then often fall to the ground making the garage door very heavy and awkward to lift. These type of springs are still available and can be replaced in a relatively straightforward repair. It is often a good idea to replace the springs on both sides. This saves on an extra repair charge if the other spring was to break and also ensures that the garge door is correctly balanced.
