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

Living with Houston's heat and humidity means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. summer heat overworks openers and storm season batters doors both feed straight into a broken garage door spring, which is why our Harris County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

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 Houston pro
