Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my garage door spring is broken?
Common signs: the door will not open with the opener but the motor runs, the door feels extremely heavy when lifted manually, you heard a loud bang from the garage recently, or you can see a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door. A broken spring is not a DIY repair — call (512) 744-5685.
Torsion springs vs extension springs — what's the difference?
Torsion springs sit on a shaft above the door and use twisting force to lift it; they last longer, balance the door more smoothly, and are the modern standard. Extension springs sit along the horizontal tracks and stretch as the door closes; they are older technology and require safety cables. We replace both.
Should I replace one spring or both?
Both. If your door uses two torsion springs and one breaks, the other is typically near the end of its life and will fail soon. Replacing both keeps the door balanced, evens out wear, and avoids paying for a second service call within months. We always recommend replacing springs in matched pairs.
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard 10,000-cycle springs last 7–10 years in typical residential use. Higher-cycle springs (16,000 or 25,000 cycles) cost more upfront but last significantly longer and are worth it for busy households. Heat, humidity, and frequent use accelerate wear. An annual tune-up extends spring life by keeping the door balanced and well-lubricated.
How much does spring replacement cost in Cedar Park?
Spring replacement typically runs $250–$450 in Cedar Park, depending on door size, spring wire size, and cycle rating. That price includes both springs, labor, and a full safety and balance test. Higher-cycle springs cost a bit more but last longer. We give upfront pricing before any work starts.
Why is DIY spring replacement dangerous?
Garage door springs store enormous tension. If a torsion spring is wound or released incorrectly, the winding bars can launch out of the cones and cause serious injury. Wrong-sized springs leave the door unbalanced and can damage the opener. The savings from DIY are not worth the risk — call (512) 744-5685 for safe, fast replacement.
