Garage Door Spring & Cable Replacement in Perth
The spring is the reason a garage door that weighs as much as a small motorbike can be lifted with one hand. It stores enormous energy, it does the actual work, and it is the single most common failure on any garage door — and the single most dangerous thing on it to touch. When a spring goes, the door becomes a dead weight in an instant: the motor strains or gives up, the door drops if it is released, and cables often snap in the same moment. SwiftRoll replaces springs and cables across Perth with the correct winding gear, sized to your door's actual measured weight rather than a generic chart, and always in pairs on a two-spring door so the second one does not fail a fortnight later. We will not talk you through doing this yourself, and neither should anyone else.
- Springs sized to your door's measured weight, never to a generic chart
- Replaced in pairs on two-spring doors — the second one is the same age
- Cables, drums and bearings inspected and replaced in the same visit
- Corrosion-resistant options offered as standard on coastal properties
- We will never coach a customer through this job — it is not a DIY repair at any skill level

How it works
What to expect when you call
Stop using the door
If the spring has gone, the door is a dead weight held by whatever is left. Do not run the motor and do not release the door. Tell us what you heard — a broken spring usually announces itself with a bang like a gunshot.
Measure the door, not the chart
We weigh or calculate the door's actual mass and measure the existing spring's wire size, inside diameter and length. A spring chosen off a generic chart is either under-sprung, which burns out motors, or over-sprung, which is genuinely unsafe.
Replace in pairs, with the right gear
On a two-spring door both go, because the second is the same age and the same fatigue. We use proper winding bars and containment, replace cables and check drums at the same time, and never re-use a spring that has been through a failure.
Balance and prove it
A correctly sprung door stays put wherever you leave it, half open included. We test that by hand, reset the motor's force limits to the new balance, and cycle the door before we leave.

Springs & Cables — what customers say
“Roller door had got so heavy my wife couldn't lift it. He re-tensioned the barrel, cleared the guides and replaced the bottom seal, and it lifts one-handed again. Explained why it happened rather than just fixing it and leaving.”
“Heard the bang at about eleven at night and thought someone was breaking in. Rang first thing, was told very clearly not to touch the door, and they were there before lunch. Both springs replaced, door balanced, done properly.”
“I asked whether I could do it myself and got a flat no, plus the reason why. Appreciated that far more than being sold something. He measured the door rather than guessing and the difference in how it runs now is obvious.”
