Broken Spring Repair & Replacement in Houston
A broken spring is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — garage door problems. Springs carry the full weight of the door under high tension, which makes this a job for a trained technician, not a DIY project. We replace torsion and extension springs safely and get your door moving again the same day in most cases.
Signs You Need This Service
- A loud bang from the garage (often the spring snapping)
- The door feels extremely heavy or won’t budge when lifted manually
- You can see a visible gap or separation in the spring
- The door slams shut quickly instead of lowering smoothly
- The opener strains or struggles to lift the door
How We Handle It
Confirm it’s the spring
We check whether the issue is the spring itself or something else being mistaken for it, like the opener or cables.
Replace with the correct spring
Springs are matched to your door’s size and weight — using the wrong one causes premature failure.
Test under full load
We run the door through several full cycles to confirm balance and smooth operation before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it dangerous to try replacing a spring myself?
Yes. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and have caused serious injuries to untrained people. This is a job we strongly recommend leaving to a professional.
How long does a spring replacement take?
Most spring replacements are completed in under an hour once a technician is on site.
