Garage Door Spring
Replacement & Repair
in Little Elm
Garage door springs do the heavy lifting — literally. A standard two-car garage door weighs 150 to 200 pounds, and the springs counterbalance that weight so the opener motor only needs to move a fraction of the load. When a spring breaks, that counterbalance is gone. The opener strains, the door feels impossibly heavy when lifted manually, and in many cases the door won’t open at all. Professionals can diagnose spring failures quickly and carry replacement springs sized for the specific door to restore safe operation on the first visit.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken
- Loud bang from the garage — the most common sign of a snapped torsion spring is a sound like a gunshot from inside the closed garage
- Door won’t open — the opener runs but the door barely moves or lifts only a few inches before stopping
- Door feels extremely heavy — pulling the red emergency release cord and trying to lift manually reveals the door is much heavier than normal
- Visible gap in the spring — a torsion spring mounted above the door shows a visible separation where the coil snapped
- Door is crooked or uneven — one side rises higher than the other, indicating one spring has failed on a two-spring system
- Cable hanging loose — broken springs often cause the lift cables to unspool from the drum and hang slack alongside the door
If any of these signs are present, call PRO Garage Doors of Little Elm and speak with a technician before attempting to operate the door further. Continued use with a broken spring puts excessive stress on the opener motor and can cause cable failure or door damage.
Torsion Springs vs
Extension Springs
Most modern residential garage doors use one of two spring system types — and repairmen stock replacement parts for both.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening on a steel shaft. As the door closes, the spring winds and stores tension. As the door opens, the spring unwinds and releases that energy to assist the lift. Most modern homes have one or two torsion springs depending on the door width and weight. Torsion springs are the more durable of the two types and are standard on most doors installed in the last 20 years. When a torsion spring fails it typically snaps cleanly and the gap in the coil is visible from inside the garage.
Extension Springs
Extension springs run horizontally along the tracks on each side of the door. As the door closes the springs stretch and store energy. As the door opens the springs contract and assist the lift. Extension springs are common on older garage door installations and on doors with lower headroom clearance above the opening. Extension springs wear differently than torsion springs — they stretch over time, lose tension gradually, and occasionally snap and fly if not equipped with a safety cable running through the center of the spring. Garage door repairmen replace extension springs and install safety cables when they’re missing.
Tip: When one spring breaks on a two-spring system, repairmen typically recommend replacing both springs at the same time. The surviving spring has the same age and wear as the one that failed and is likely to break within weeks or months. Replacing both during the same service call saves a second service fee and prevents a repeat failure in the near future.
