A garage door that slams shut in Richardson has lost the spring tension that controls its descent — a serious safety issue we treat as urgent.

There's a local angle to a garage door slams shut in Richardson: the area's wild temperature swings and hail is hard on garage doors — hail dents panels, and high wind & grit wear tracks. Our Richardson techs see these failures spike around every spring hailstorm, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door slams shut

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

A broken spring
With no counterbalance, the full weight of the door drops fast.
A snapped cable
A failed cable removes the control on one or both sides.
A failed opener or worn pulley
Worn lift hardware can let the door fall.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Richardson pro

We secure the door, replace the spring or cable, and confirm a controlled, balanced close before we leave.
