Ralston's 1970s ranch homes predominantly feature attached single-car garages with extension spring systems on the sides of the door rather than a central torsion spring above. Extension springs are under constant tension when the door is closed — unlike torsion springs which are under tension when the door is open — making them higher failure risk and more dangerous when they snap. Nebraska code requires safety cables through extension springs; many Ralston homes have extension springs without them. We replace in pairs and always install safety cables.

Common Garage Door Problems in Ralston
In Ralston, the most common emergency calls we receive are for broken torsion springs — especially in January and February when temperatures drop below 0°F. Metal contracts sharply in extreme cold, and springs that are near the end of their 10,000–20,000 cycle lifespan snap under the added stress.
The attached single-car predominant configuration dominant in this area means most homes have extension spring systems that may be well past their typical 15-year lifespan. Homeowners near Ralston Arena frequently call us after the first hard freeze of the season.

“The tech replaced both extension springs and added safety cables I didn't have. He explained that extension springs without cables can become projectiles when they snap. I had no idea. Small upgrade that could prevent a serious injury.”
