Garage Door Spring Repair in Georgetown, TX

Broken Garage Door Spring Repair

Garage door springs are responsible for counterbalancing the weight of your garage door, making it possible to open and close smoothly.

​

Over time, these springs experience wear from repeated use. Eventually, they can weaken or break, leaving your garage door difficult or impossible to operate.

​

Common signs of a broken garage door spring include:

​

• Your garage door won't open or only opens a few inches.

• You heard a loud bang coming from the garage.

• The garage door feels unusually heavy.

• Your garage door opens unevenly or appears crooked.

• You notice a visible gap in the torsion spring.

• Your garage door opener struggles to lift the door.

​

If you're experiencing any of these problems, it's important to have your garage door inspected by an experienced technician.

​

Do not attempt to adjust or replace garage door springs yourself. Springs operate under significant tension and can cause serious injuries when handled improperly.

​

Garage Door Spring Replacement in Georgetown

Not every garage door spring can be repaired. When a spring is broken or severely worn, replacement is generally necessary.

​

Absolute Garage Doors provides garage door spring replacement services for residential garage doors throughout Georgetown and nearby communities.

​

Our technicians inspect the spring system, evaluate the condition of the garage door, and determine the appropriate replacement components.

​

We work with different garage door configurations and spring systems to help restore dependable operation.

​

Should You Replace One Garage Door Spring or Both?

​

Torsion Spring Replacement

Torsion springs are commonly installed above the garage door opening. They use stored mechanical energy to counterbalance the door's weight.

​

When a torsion spring breaks, the garage door may become extremely difficult to lift.

​

Our garage door technicians can inspect damaged torsion springs and replace them with appropriately sized components for the door.

​

Extension Spring Replacement

Extension springs are typically located along the sides of the garage door's horizontal tracks.

These springs stretch and contract as the garage door operates.

​

When an extension spring becomes damaged or breaks, the door may lift unevenly or stop operating properly.

​

Absolute Garage Doors can evaluate extension spring systems and provide replacement services when needed.

​

Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?

Garage door springs don't last forever.

​

Every time your garage door opens and closes, the springs complete another operating cycle.

Several factors can contribute to spring failure, including:

​

Normal Wear and Tear

Garage door springs experience repeated tension during everyday operation. Eventually, the metal can fatigue and break.

​

Rust and Corrosion

Moisture and corrosion can weaken garage door springs and interfere with their operation.

​

Improper Spring Sizing

Springs that aren't properly matched to the weight and configuration of a garage door may experience excessive strain.

​

Lack of Maintenance

Regular garage door maintenance can help identify worn or damaged components before they cause additional problems.

​

If your garage door springs are showing signs of wear, scheduling an inspection can help prevent unexpected breakdowns.

​

Can You Open a Garage Door With a Broken Spring?

A garage door with a broken spring may be extremely heavy and unsafe to operate.

​

Even if your garage door opener attempts to lift the door, continuing to use it can place additional strain on the opener and other garage door components.

​

We recommend avoiding operation of the door until a qualified garage door technician has inspected the spring system.

​

Never attempt to disconnect the opener or manually lift a door with a broken spring unless a qualified professional has determined it is safe.
