A broken spring is the #1 reason a garage door won't open in Austin. Springs are under enormous tension, so this is one job to always leave to a pro.

A broken garage door spring rarely happens in a vacuum. Austin's heat and Gulf humidity wears doors down — heat overworks openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every August heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your broken garage door spring

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Normal wear

Springs are rated for a set number of cycles and eventually fatigue and snap — often in cold weather.

Rust and skipped maintenance

Corrosion and dryness shorten spring life dramatically.

An undersized spring

A spring not matched to the door's weight wears out fast.

How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Austin pro

We confirm the spring type and size, replace it (in pairs when both are worn), wind it to spec, and safety-test the balance.
