Garage Door Spring Repair for Southlake homes and businesses
The bang you heard was almost certainly a torsion spring letting go. That spring was carrying the entire weight of the door, which is why it now feels like lifting a fridge. We replace springs in Southlake the same day, with the common wire sizes on the truck.
Every spring job includes re-balancing the door so the opener stops carrying weight it was never designed to lift. Skipping that step is why some doors go through openers every few years. We also check the cables and drums while the door is down, since they take the shock when a spring lets go.

Opener kept reversing for no reason. Turned out to be a sensor knocked out of line plus a frayed cable I hadn't noticed. He showed me both before touching anything.

Garage Door Spring Repair questions from Southlake customers
How long does a spring replacement take in Southlake?
A standard torsion spring replacement takes about 60 to 90 minutes on site. If you have a dual spring system we replace both, because the second is the same age as the one that just broke and will usually follow within months.
Why do you replace both springs when only one broke?
Springs are rated in cycles and both of yours have done the same number. Replacing one leaves the door unbalanced and puts the old spring under more strain, so it tends to fail soon after. Doing both in one visit costs less than paying for two separate call outs.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We'd strongly advise against it. A torsion spring holds enough stored energy to break bones, and winding bars slipping is a genuine hospital risk. It's one of the few garage door jobs where the tooling and the technique matter more than the part.
Is it worth repairing an old garage door or should I replace it?
A rough rule: if the repair costs more than about half what a new door would, and the door is over fifteen years old, replacement usually wins. Cracked sections, rust through the bottom seam and repeated failures all point the same way. A single broken spring on an otherwise sound door is almost always worth repairing.
What areas around Southlake do you cover?
We cover Southlake and the surrounding communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, and we serve cities right across Texas. If you're on the edge of the area, call and we'll tell you straight away whether we can reach you the same day.
Can you fix a garage door that's off its track?
Yes, and it's one of the more common calls we get. Please don't run the opener while the door is off track, because that bends the track further and can drop the door. We lift it manually, re-seat the rollers, straighten or replace the track, check the cables and drums, then re-balance the door before testing it.
