Professional Broken Springs solutions
That loud bang you heard wasn't just startling—it was your garage door's torsion spring breaking, and suddenly your 200-pound door became impossible to lift manually. Broken garage door springs represent the most common and potentially dangerous garage door failure, affecting thousands of Texas homeowners annually. The truth is that torsion springs operate under extreme tension—typically 200-400 pounds—and they're designed to last approximately 10,000 cycles, which translates to about 7-10 years with normal use. However, Texas heat accelerates spring wear significantly, and springs can break suddenly without much warning. Besides making your door extremely heavy and dangerous to operate manually, broken springs create safety hazards, prevent normal operation, and can cause damage to other components if left unaddressed. Therefore, professional spring replacement isn't optional—it's essential for restoring safe, reliable operation. And the thing is, spring replacement requires specialized knowledge, proper tools, and safety equipment that most homeowners don't possess. Attempting DIY spring replacement is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury or property damage. That's why professional spring replacement ensures safe, proper installation that restores your door's operation while protecting your safety.

Broken garage door springs don't just prevent normal operation—they create dangerous situations where heavy doors become impossible to lift manually, potentially trapping vehicles or creating security vulnerabilities. The truth is that garage door springs operate under hundreds of pounds of tension, and when they break, that stored energy releases suddenly, creating loud noises and potential hazards. Besides immediate operational problems, broken springs place excessive stress on opener motors, cause cables to slacken dangerously, and can lead to complete system failure if other components aren't addressed. Therefore, prompt professional spring replacement restores safe operation while preventing cascading failures that could require extensive repairs. And the thing is, springs must be replaced in matched pairs, even if only one has broken. When one spring fails, the remaining spring operates under increased stress and will likely fail soon. Replacing both springs simultaneously ensures balanced operation, prevents premature failure, and provides consistent performance. Moreover, proper spring sizing is critical—springs must be matched precisely to door weight and height. Incorrectly sized springs cause balance problems, premature failure, and dangerous operation. Professional technicians calculate spring requirements using manufacturer formulas, ensuring proper sizing that provides optimal performance and longevity. Additionally, spring replacement requires proper tools and safety equipment. Winding bars, spring tensioners, and safety equipment protect technicians during installation, and attempting replacement without proper tools creates serious injury risks. Professional replacement ensures safe installation using appropriate equipment and techniques.
When we arrive, we first ensure the area is safe and assess the spring failure. We'll check if both springs are broken or if only one has failed, examine cables for damage, and evaluate the overall system condition. Besides assessment, we'll secure the door safely to prevent movement during replacement. The truth is that broken springs create dangerous situations, and proper safety measures protect everyone during replacement. Therefore, we take safety seriously from the moment we arrive.
Proper spring sizing requires calculating door weight, height, and balance requirements. We measure your door precisely, calculate weight based on material and size, and determine spring specifications using manufacturer formulas. Besides calculation, we verify spring type—torsion springs mounted above the door or extension springs on the sides. And the thing is, proper sizing ensures balanced operation and prevents premature failure, so we take time to get calculations right.
Removing broken springs requires releasing stored tension safely using proper tools and techniques. We use winding bars designed specifically for spring work, release tension gradually, and remove old springs safely. Besides removal, we inspect cables, pulleys, and other components for damage that might have occurred when springs broke. The reality is that safe removal protects technicians and prevents additional damage to your system.
Installing new springs requires winding them to proper tension using specialized tools and safety equipment. We install matched spring pairs, wind them to calculated tension using proper winding bars, and ensure even tension distribution. Besides installation, we route cables correctly, verify proper engagement, and ensure all components work together properly. Proper installation ensures balanced operation and reliable performance.
After installation, we test door balance thoroughly by manually lifting the door halfway and verifying it stays in place. We run complete cycles, listen for smooth operation, and verify proper balance throughout the travel range. Besides balance testing, we check cable tension, verify opener operation, and ensure all safety features function correctly. Therefore, you're left with a door that operates safely and smoothly.
Spring replacement is too dangerous and critical to trust to unqualified contractors or DIY attempts—it requires expertise, proper tools, and safety equipment that ensure safe, correct installation.
