Storage Unit Roll-Up Door Spring Replacement

Roll-up doors are balanced by springs inside the barrel at the top of the door. When a spring breaks or loses tension, the door is heavy to lift or slides back down. We replace springs and set the tension.

Spring Replacement questions

Can a tenant adjust the spring?

No. Roll-up springs are under tension and can cause injury. Spring work should be done by a technician.

Is it just tension or a broken spring?

Sometimes the spring only needs tension added. If it is broken or worn out, we replace it.

Can you check all the doors at once?

Yes. See self-storage door maintenance programs.
