That bang was the spring — leave the door down — across Naples, East Naples, North Naples, Golden Gate, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers.
Springs do the lifting; the opener only steers. When one breaks it goes off like a firecracker in the garage, and from that moment the door is several hundred pounds of dead weight the opener was never built to hoist. Leave it down and call — spring calls jump our queue, because one impatient button-press is how a spring job becomes a spring-and-opener job.
We weigh the actual door rather than trusting a chart — hurricane-rated doors, insulation, and wind bracing all move the number — then install a matched, coated pair wound to that weight. Drums, bearings, and cables get checked while the shaft is open, because a violent break rarely travels alone.
Salt air is a spring's second clock. Gulf humidity pits the coil surface, pits become micro-cracks, and a 10,000-cycle spring retires early — faster still near the water on Marco or the beach blocks. Coated springs claw those cycles back, which is why they're our standard, not our upsell.
