Broken Spring Repair

A broken garage door spring can stop your day cold. You hit the opener, hear a loud pop, and suddenly the door won’t budge. If this sounds like what’s happening at your house, you’re not alone. Broken springs are one of the most common garage door problems we see in Houston homes, and they can be dangerous to mess with. That’s where 24/7 Garage Doors Inc comes in. We fix these issues quickly, any time of day, so you can get back to normal.

Why Garage Door Springs Break

Garage door springs take a beating. Every time you open or close the door, those springs carry the heavy load. Over time, they wear out. In Houston’s humid weather, metal parts can rust, which speeds things up. Sometimes homeowners notice:

• A loud bang from the garage
• The door opening unevenly or not at all
• Gaps in the spring coil

I once helped a family in Cypress who thought their opener was the problem. Turns out, their spring had snapped clean in two. They were happy they called instead of trying to lift the door themselves.

Why You Shouldn’t DIY Broken Spring Repair

You might be tempted to grab a ladder and fix it yourself. Don’t. Springs hold a ton of tension. One wrong move, and you can get seriously hurt. We’ve seen homeowners injure their hands, arms, and even their faces trying to save a few bucks. Trust me, it’s not worth the risk. Call a pro who does this every day and has the right tools.

Common Questions About Broken Spring Repair

How do I know if my spring is broken?

If your door is heavy to lift, won’t open, or you hear a snapping sound, it’s likely the spring. You may also see a gap in the coil.

Can I still use my opener?

Not a good idea. Using the opener with a broken spring can burn out the motor and damage the door.

How long do springs last?

Most last 7-10 years with regular use. If you open your door a lot, it might be less.

Tips to Avoid Future Spring Breaks

While you can’t stop wear and tear completely, you can make springs last longer:

• Lubricate regularly with garage door spray.
