Have a Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster?

Convert it. Don't replace it.

Sealed-tube system from the '90s and 2000s. Proprietary parts, plastic gears, and roughly 7,000 cycles before failure. We swap it for standard torsion in the same visit — cheaper than buying another TorqueMaster, and every shop in BC can service it from then on.

A Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster system installed on a residential garage door header — the proprietary sealed steel tube hides the torsion spring inside, with the original yellow factory warning label still attached to the winder cone.
Before — TorqueMaster (sealed tube, proprietary winder, no parts in stock anywhere)
Standard torsion-spring system installed after converting away from Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster — exposed torsion spring on a steel shaft above a residential garage door, off-the-shelf parts ready for any future service
After — standard torsion (universal parts, any BC tech can service it)

Why it was ever an option

Wayne Dalton designed TorqueMaster in the 1990s and sold it as the "safer-looking" spring system — the spring lived hidden inside a steel tube above the door. Builders liked the cleaner profile. Wayne Dalton liked that almost nobody else could repair it.

Why every BC homeowner converts now

  • Plastic gears and cable drums become brittle, strip teeth, and fail before the spring does
  • ~7,000–10,000 cycle lifespan vs 10,000–25,000 on a quality standard torsion
  • Parts are special-order from Wayne Dalton — not Home Depot, not most BC supply houses
  • Sealed inside the tube, so the failure mode is slower to diagnose and easier to misdiagnose
  • Counterforce springs in TorqueMaster Plus hold residual tension after a failure — a known safety hazard during repair
  • Next time it needs service — and there will be a next time — it's a standard part any garage door shop in BC can install, not a special-order tube assembly

30-second spring diagnosis

Three questions. We'll tell you what broke.

1. Did you hear a loud bang from the garage — like a gunshot in a tin can?

2. Look at the spring above the door. Is there a visible 1–2 inch gap in the coil?

3. When you press the opener, does it strain and quit — or refuse to move at all?

Yes, we do all of these — it's all the same job:

Why we throw in cables free

Skip the cables and you're gambling.

When a frayed cable snaps with a fresh spring already wound tight, the door drops in 80 milliseconds. Bottom panel buckles. Tracks bend. Opener gearbox grinds.

That's a $2,300 panel-and-tracks repair.

New cables are $40 in parts. We include them free with the two-spring tier because we don't want the phone call you'd make us in six months.

Fair question

Why does this cost what it costs?

A torsion spring is $30 in parts. The price tag isn't the metal.

It's the $5M liability insurance, the WorkSafeBC premiums on every tech, GST and PST collected and remitted, payroll, fuel, the wrapped van, and the wages that keep good techs around instead of out there fixing doors out of a Corolla between Uber runs.

It's also 17 years of learning how to wind 250 pounds of stored steel in two seconds without losing a finger. That part isn't on the parts list.

We're not paying a marketing agency $4,000 a month for a 40-page mega-site, either. That's why the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.

Questions we get every day

The honest answers.

How fast can you actually be at my house?

Your local tech lives in your city. From the call to your driveway is usually 12 to 18 minutes, depending on traffic and which corner of the Lower Mainland you're in. We don't drive in from downtown — that's why our times are honest.

Do you charge after-hours or weekend rates?

No. Same price 7 a.m. or 9 p.m. Tuesday or Saturday. No diagnostic fee. No surcharges on-site. Quoted price equals paid price.

How much does it cost to replace a garage door spring?

Three flat-rate tiers, all quoted upfront (all-in plus GST/PST):

  • One Spring — cables not replaced; other spring stays old.
  • Two Springs — includes free cables. 5-year parts, 2-year labour. (95% pick this.)
  • Two High-Cycle — 25,000-cycle, 2.5× lifespan. 7-year parts.

Call or text and we'll give you the exact all-in number for your door in under a minute — same price 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., no diagnostic fee.

Can I just replace one spring?

Technically yes. But the second spring is the same age, has the same fatigue, and will fail within months. Doing both costs just a little more and saves a second call-out. That's why 95% of customers pick the two-spring tier.

What about Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster (or TorqueMaster Plus)?

Yes — we do these every week. Two paths:

  • Replace with another TorqueMaster — like-for-like. You'll be back here in 5 years.
  • Convert to standard torsion — steel drums, off-the-shelf springs, any shop in BC can service it from now on.

The conversion costs less today, and less on every future service call because the parts aren't proprietary anymore. We quote your exact all-in price upfront. See the full TorqueMaster conversion breakdown ↑

Is it safe to open the door manually if the spring snapped?

No. A residential garage door is 150 to 200 pounds. Without the spring's counterweight it lands at terminal velocity. Pull the red emergency-release cord on the opener and leave the door closed until we get there.

Do you replace cables too?

Cables are included free with the two-spring tier (normally $120). Skipping cables when the springs are replaced is the most expensive mistake we see — a frayed cable that snaps later turns into a $2,300 panel-and-tracks repair.

Are you insured?

$5M general liability, WorkSafeBC coverage on every technician, 2-year labour warranty, 5-year standard parts (7-year on high-cycle). Certificate of insurance available on request.

Don't feel like calling?

Three fields. We'll text you back in under 5 minutes.

We don't share your number. We don't put you on a list. We text once with a quote.

The door doesn't lie.

If it won't move, it's a spring. If it bangs and stops, it's a spring. Call before noon if you want it fixed today.
