Warranty 10-year garage door parts warranty Trip charge $0 trip charge What the problem looks like ## Signs you're dealing with this **The door won't open and there's no visible broken spring** TorqueMaster springs sit inside the torsion tube, so a break isn't obvious the way an exposed coil is. A door that's suddenly heavy with no visible cause is the classic sign. **The cable is loose or unwound on one end** When a TorqueMaster spring fails, the cable on that side often goes slack because the winding unit has let go inside the tube. **You've replaced this spring before** TorqueMaster systems are known for repeat failures. If you're on your second or third, converting is usually the smarter long-term move. What's included ## What you get - Diagnosis of the enclosed TorqueMaster system - Removal of the TorqueMaster tube and winding units - Installation of a standard exposed torsion spring, tube, and hardware sized to your door - New drums and cables as part of the conversion - Balancing, tensioning, and full cycle testing How we do it ## Our process **STEP 01 Confirm the diagnosis** Because the spring is hidden, we verify the failure and measure the door so the replacement torsion system is correctly sized. **STEP 02 Remove the enclosed system** We take out the TorqueMaster tube and its internal winding units, which is where the reliability problems live. **STEP 03 Install standard torsion** We fit an exposed torsion spring on a standard shaft with new drums and cables, a system any technician can inspect and service going forward. **STEP 04 Balance and test** We wind to the correct tension, balance the door, and cycle-test it so it floats and holds. ![On-site service, East Valley](https://bluefoxgaragedoors.com/images/photos/about_us_image_04.jpg) ## Parts & materials - Standard torsion spring, shaft, and bearing plates - New drums and lift cables - Oil-tempered spring option for longer life and quieter operation **What affects cost** A conversion costs more than swapping a single spring because it replaces the whole system, but it ends the repeat-failure cycle and makes future service simpler and cheaper. We'll explain the trade-off before you decide. **Safety note** Like all torsion work, this involves springs under high tension and is not a DIY job. The enclosed design makes TorqueMaster especially unforgiving to work on without the right tools. Component detail Blue Fox · spec - Ø .250 oil-tempered - TORSION SPRING · IPPT-MATCHED Questions ## TorqueMaster Conversion FAQ **What is a TorqueMaster spring?** It's a torsion system where the spring is enclosed inside the torsion tube rather than exposed on a shaft. It was used to give a cleaner look, but the enclosed design is harder to diagnose and prone to repeat failures. **Why convert instead of just replacing the spring?** You can replace a TorqueMaster spring, but many homeowners see it fail again. Converting to a standard exposed torsion system gives you a more reliable, easier-to-service setup that any tech can maintain. **How do I know if I have TorqueMaster?** If your door is heavy or won't open but you can't see a broken coil above it, and the spring appears to be inside a tube rather than wound on a shaft, it's likely a TorqueMaster. We can confirm it on site. **Is the converted system better?** For serviceability and reliability, yes. Exposed torsion springs are the industry standard, are easy to inspect, and are quick to replace when they eventually wear out.
