When You Need Spring Repair
Garage door springs do not last forever. In North Texas, the extreme temperature fluctuations between our hot summers and cooler winters put additional stress on the metal coils. If you suspect your springs have failed, look for these specific indicators.
- The Loud Bang: A torsion spring usually snaps with a sound like a gunshot or a heavy firecracker going off inside the garage. This is the sound of the metal finally reaching its fatigue limit.
- The Gap in the Coil: If you have a torsion spring system, look above the door when it is closed. You will see a clear, visible gap in the middle of the spring coils if it has broken.
- The Door Will Not Lift: Modern garage door openers, such as those from LiftMaster or Chamberlain, have safety sensors that detect when the door is too heavy to lift. If the spring is broken, the opener will struggle, make a grinding noise, or refuse to move the door entirely to prevent motor damage.
- Visible Cable Slack: When a spring breaks, the tension on the lift cables is lost. You might see the cables hanging loosely near the bottom brackets of the door.
- The Door Feels Heavy: If you pull the emergency release cord and attempt to lift the door by hand, it should feel relatively balanced. If it feels like it weighs 100 pounds or more, your springs have failed and are no longer providing the necessary counterbalance.
Safety Warning: A garage door spring system stores enough energy to cause serious injury. Never attempt to adjust, tighten, or replace these springs yourself. The brackets and bolts connected to the spring assembly are under high tension and can snap or release with dangerous force. If you see signs of failure, keep family members and pets away from the garage door and call (940) 290-8313 for professional Garage Door Repair services.
Our Spring Repair Process
We believe in transparency. When you call Servo Garage Doors Frisco, you are not getting a salesperson. You are getting a technician who follows a documented process. This is how we handle spring replacement for our clients.
- Initial Assessment: We arrive at your home and immediately inspect the spring assembly. Per Clause 4 of The Haven Standard, we photograph the broken spring to document the failure.
- Evidence-Based Quote: Before we touch a tool, we show you the photo of the broken part and explain why it failed. We provide a flat, written price for the repair. You know exactly what you are paying before work begins.
- Spring Matching: We measure the wire diameter and the length of the existing spring. We use high-cycle, oil-tempered springs that are designed to handle the weight of your specific door, whether it is a heavy wood-carriage door or a lighter steel Clopay model.
- Replacement and Calibration: We remove the broken hardware and install the new springs. We then re-tension the system to ensure the door is properly balanced. A balanced door should stay in place when opened halfway by hand.
- Documentation: Once the job is complete, we provide a documented photo record of the new springs installed, confirming the work matches the initial scope. This ensures you have a permanent record of the repair for your home maintenance files.

FAQs - Spring Repair
How do I know if I have a broken spring or a bad opener?
The easiest way to tell is to pull the emergency release cord and attempt to lift the door by hand. If the door is extremely heavy or will not lift at all, the spring is broken; if the door moves easily by hand but the motor hums or makes noise without moving the door, the issue is likely with the opener, the drive system, or possibly the Track Realignment. If you aren’t sure, give us a call at (940) 290-8313, and we can guide you through a quick check over the phone.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace the garage door springs?
Repairing the springs is always more cost-effective than replacing the entire garage door system. Replacing the springs restores the counterbalance of the door, which is the most common reason for failure, and it usually costs a fraction of a full door installation. If your door is physically damaged, dented, or warped, that is when we discuss replacement options.
Do you service all brands of garage doors?
Yes, we service all major brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. The springs themselves are typically universal in their sizing, but we ensure the replacement spring matches the specific wire diameter and coil length required for your manufacturer’s door weight.
