What Customers Say About Our Spring & Cable Repair in Westcliff
Real reviews from Westcliff and nearby Newport Beach neighborhoods.
“Balance test failed hard in Big Canyon after springs were the original 40-year pair at 18:51. Big Canyon coyotes and raccoons kicking debris into the tracks (14:51, Big Canyon). Tech converted the tired extension setup and showed the cycle count on the new torsion at 18:51. Quiet after ten.”
“Our San Joaquin Hills door at 11:30: one torsion spring snapped and the drums walked, so the door slammed the last foot. San Joaquin Hills ridge homes in the marine layer every morning. They installed a matched torsion pair and timed the drums so the last foot is soft for this San Joaquin Hills door. Invoice matched.”
“Great prompt and quality service. Steve was quick to respond to my query and then sent his person to install new springs and cables, garage door working fine again. Would recommend.”
Spring & Cable Repair in Westcliff - FAQs
Most Westcliff homes have no master association, so the city is usually the only approval. Check with the Newport Beach Permit Center, 949-644-3309, for your address.
No opener that old has the entrapment protection required on openers made since 1993, and it should be replaced. Opener installation typically runs $250 to $600 in Orange County, and any new opener must have battery backup under SB 969.
Pull the opener's release cord, lift the door to waist height and let go. It should stay put. If it falls or rises, the springs need attention from a technician. Never adjust a torsion spring yourself. Torsion spring replacement typically runs $150 to $300 in Orange County.
Nearly all of Newport Beach is in the Coastal Zone, though the boundary runs through some inland neighborhoods. Replacing a door in an existing opening at the same size is a different matter from changing the opening or the structure around it, which can need a Coastal Development Permit. Check your address with the city's Address Search Tool and ask the Permit Center at 100 Civic Center Drive, 949-644-3309.
We take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a 30 to 60 minute response, and common spring sizes are carried on the truck, so a broken spring is often replaced in the same visit. Call (949) 529-7743.
