Garage Door Spring Replacement in Austin TX
That loud bang you heard was a spring. It's the most common garage door failure, and we fix it the same day you call.
You Need This Fixed Today
A broken garage door spring isn't just an inconvenience. Your door weighs 150–400 lbs, and without the spring, it either won't open at all or isn't safe to use. Most spring failures happen without warning. One moment it works; the next, you hear a loud bang and the door won't move.
We hear this every day. We know exactly what to do, and we can usually be at your home the same day you call.
Torsion Springs and Extension Springs
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening. They're the most common type in newer Austin-area homes. When a torsion spring breaks, you'll often hear a loud snap and see the spring coiled but separated.
- Most residential double doors use one or two torsion springs
- We recommend replacing both springs if one breaks — the second is close to end of life
- Most jobs completed in under two hours
Extension Springs
Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. They stretch and contract as the door opens and closes.
- Common in older homes and lighter doors
- Replaced in pairs for balanced operation
- Safety cables recommended if not already installed
