Our Broken Spring Repair services provide specialized solutions with professional expertise.
A garage door spring carries the full weight of the door every time it opens and closes. When the spring breaks, the entire system becomes unstable, unbalanced, and unsafe to operate. The opener cannot lift the door, the cable tension becomes uneven, and the lifting force distribution collapses. Replacing a broken spring requires more than simply installing a new part. It demands precise torque calculations, accurate winding procedures, correct wire sizing, and full recalibration of the door's balance. When done correctly, the door returns to smooth, controlled, and predictable movement with minimal strain on all other components.
Broken spring replacement involves removing damaged torsion or extension springs, installing new springs sized to the exact weight of the door, recalibrating torque, resetting cable tension, aligning drums, and performing full system balance testing. Springs must match door height, weight, track radius, panel material, and insulation density. Using incorrect springs or winding them improperly leads to unsafe lifting behavior, premature opening failure, or catastrophic mechanical stress. This service ensures every measurement, connection, and adjustment brings the door back to stable, long term performance.
Garage door springs act as counterbalances that store rotational energy and release it in a controlled manner to lift the door. When a spring breaks, the system loses its ability to counteract gravity.
A torsion spring system typically provides the majority of lifting force. When broken, the opener attempts to lift the door alone, causing motor overheating, gear damage, and sudden failure. Correct replacement restores the proper mechanical advantage so the opener does not carry the load meant for the spring.
Broken spring replacement affects the entire garage door lifting system. Every component connected to the spring must be inspected and recalibrated.
These springs sit above the door on a steel shaft. Their job is to torque the shaft so drums lift the cables. A break sounds like a loud snap due to sudden release of stored energy.
Located along the tracks, they stretch to lift the door. Breaks often cause the door to tilt sharply.
Cables wind around drums. They may loosen or jump tracks when a spring breaks.
Drums convert spring torque into vertical lift. Damaged or misaligned drums cause uneven movement.
These allow the torsion shaft to rotate smoothly. If they fail, the spring cannot deliver torque evenly.
While not directly involved in spring action, broken springs increase roller strain dramatically.
Panel hinges take additional stress when springs no longer support panel weight.
The opener is not designed to lift a door without spring tension. A broken spring forces the motor to overwork, often causing gear damage or internal overheating.
Spring replacement ensures every connected component returns to correct mechanical function.
Environmental conditions influence spring lifespan and performance:
Springs break more often in regions with fluctuating temperatures, because expansion and contraction gradually weaken structural bonds. Spring replacement includes adjustments that anticipate these conditions and restore stable long term performance.
A broken spring is usually easy to identify, but early warning signs often appear long before failure.
Addressing spring fatigue early prevents sudden failure and reduces the risk of opener damage.
Spring replacement is one of the most dangerous garage door repairs due to high torque levels. Proper safety procedures include:
These safety steps ensure the door returns to stable performance without risking injury or mechanical failure.
High quality springs and components increase reliability and extend the system's lifespan.
Using inferior materials increases the chance of early failure, excessive noise, and dangerous imbalance.
Broken springs often reveal deeper issues with opener strain. After replacement, many homeowners choose to:
Smart systems work best when the mechanical components are properly balanced and calibrated.
Replacing a broken spring involves multiple precise steps:
Evaluating door weight, drum alignment, track spacing, cable condition, and bearing integrity.
Securing the door to prevent movement. Installing safety clamps and preparing tools.
Loosening set screws, releasing tension, and disengaging the damaged spring from the torsion shaft.
Matching correct wire gauge, inside diameter, coil length, and torque output to the door's weight and height.
Mounting springs, ensuring center bearing alignment, and securing set screws to proper torque.
Applying controlled rotations using professional winding bars. Incorrect winding leads to unsafe behavior.
Testing door balance at full height, mid height, and near the floor.
Ensuring cables are seated correctly in drum grooves.
Resetting travel limits, force parameters, and ensuring the opener does not overstrain.
Performing reversal tests, sensor validation, and manual release checks.
Correct execution ensures the door operates safely with minimal resistance.
A spring system is engineered so both springs share the load equally. Replacing only one spring causes imbalance.
Replacing springs in pairs ensures balanced operation and long term stability.

Signs include the door won't lift manually, the opener strains or stops immediately, you hear a loud snap, there's a visible gap in the torsion spring coil, cables become loose, or the door sits crooked. If you see any of these, don't use the door and call us immediately.
Yes, we strongly recommend replacing both springs. Springs share the load equally and have the same cycle age. Replacing only one creates imbalance, stresses the opener, and the other spring will likely break soon anyway.
Spring replacement typically takes 1-2 hours. This includes safe removal of the broken spring, installation of correctly sized new springs, proper winding, cable alignment, door balancing, and full safety testing.
Yes, spring replacement is extremely dangerous due to high torque levels. Never attempt it yourself. We use proper safety tools, secure the door, release tension in controlled measures, and follow strict safety procedures to prevent injury.
Quality springs typically last 10,000-15,000 cycles (about 7-10 years with normal use). High-cycle commercial springs last longer. Proper maintenance and balanced operation extend spring life significantly.
Springs break due to metal fatigue from repeated cycles, rust and corrosion (especially in humid climates), improper torque calibration, excessive door weight, or age. East Texas humidity and temperature swings can accelerate wear.
