- Springs replaced in matched pairs

Hale County
Why springs are the call we take most in Hale County
Hale County's median home was built in 1985 and 22.6 percent went up in the 1990s, so plenty of garages carry springs past the roughly 10,000 cycles a standard spring is rated for. Once a spring breaks, the opener cannot lift the door alone, and forcing it can bend the rail or strip the gear. We replace the spring with one sized to the door, then check the cables and drums that took the shock when it let go.
With 37.4 percent of homes being mobile homes, a lot of garage doors in the county hang on detached carports and metal buildings rather than on the house. Those doors often use extension springs along the tracks, which need safety cables run through them so a broken spring cannot fly across the building.

Moundville is growing; Greensboro is the seat
Greensboro is the Hale County seat, and Akron, Newbern and Moundville are also in the county, with Moundville the largest city and partly in Tuscaloosa County. The northern end of Hale County has grown in population and industry because it sits close to Tuscaloosa County. Greensboro is about 38 miles from Tuscaloosa on State Route 69, and on January 12, 2023 a low-end EF2 tornado heavily damaged the southern part of the city. Countywide, residents rose to 15,194 in the 2025 estimate, and 74.4 percent of homes are owner-occupied.

Common questions
Questions from Hale County homeowners
On a two-spring door, yes. Both springs have run the same cycles, so the second one is usually close behind, and a matched pair keeps the door balanced.
It can be. A side-mounted extension spring without a safety cable can whip loose when it breaks. We add safety cables or convert the door to torsion.
We cover the whole county, including Greensboro, Newbern and Akron along with Moundville. Tell us the town and road when you call.
Please do not. The opener is not built to lift the full door weight. See our guide to spring failures for what to do first.
