Professional Broken Springs solutions
The sudden loud bang that echoes through your garage when a torsion spring breaks is unmistakable—and it's a sound that signals your garage door has just become completely inoperable. Broken garage door springs are among the most common and urgent repair needs we encounter, and for good reason: these high-tension components bear the entire weight of your garage door, cycling thousands of times per year until metal fatigue eventually causes them to fail. When springs break, your door becomes impossible to open manually or with the opener, leaving you unable to access your garage and potentially trapping vehicles inside. At The Colony Overhead Doors, we specialize in fast, safe spring replacement services that restore your garage door to full operation quickly and reliably. Our expert technicians understand that spring replacement is not a DIY project—it requires specialized tools, proper safety equipment, precise calculations to match spring specifications to your door's weight, and extensive training to perform safely. We stock a comprehensive inventory of high-quality replacement springs in various sizes and strengths, allowing us to match the perfect spring to your specific door model and weight requirements. Serving homeowners and businesses throughout The Colony, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and surrounding Texas communities, we respond quickly to spring failure emergencies, providing same-day service whenever possible to minimize your inconvenience and restore your garage door's functionality promptly.

Garage door springs operate under extreme tension—enough force to lift hundreds of pounds of door weight smoothly and reliably. When springs break, they release this stored energy suddenly and violently, which is why attempting DIY spring replacement is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injury or even death. Professional spring replacement matters because trained technicians have the knowledge to calculate exact spring requirements based on your door's weight, height, and track configuration; the proper tools including winding bars, spring tensioners, and safety equipment; and the experience to perform replacements safely and correctly. Additionally, springs must be matched precisely to your door's specifications—too weak a spring and your opener motor will struggle and burn out prematurely; too strong a spring and your door will operate roughly, potentially causing damage to other components. Professional replacement ensures springs are properly matched, correctly installed, properly tensioned, and safely tested before your door is returned to service. Beyond safety, professional spring replacement extends the life of your opener motor by ensuring proper door balance, prevents accelerated wear on other components, and provides warranties that protect your investment. Our spring replacement services also include inspection of related components like cables, pulleys, and tracks that work in conjunction with springs, ensuring your entire system operates optimally after replacement.
When you contact us about broken springs, we prioritize your call understanding that a non-functional garage door creates immediate security concerns and access problems. Our technician arrives promptly with all necessary tools and replacement springs, first conducting a safety assessment to ensure the area is secure and the broken spring situation is safe to work on. We examine both springs (most systems have two), check for any damage to cables, pulleys, or tracks caused by the spring failure, measure your door's weight and dimensions, and identify the exact spring specifications needed for proper replacement. This thorough assessment ensures we have the correct replacement parts and understand any related issues that need addressing.
Using your door's exact weight, height, track configuration, and manufacturer specifications, we calculate the precise spring requirements needed for optimal performance and longevity. We select replacement springs from our inventory that match these exact specifications, ensuring proper balance, smooth operation, and long service life. Our technicians understand that spring selection is critical—the right spring ensures your door operates smoothly, your opener motor works efficiently, and your system lasts for years without premature failures.
Using proper safety equipment and specialized spring winding tools, our technician safely removes the broken spring, being extremely careful with the high tension involved. We then install the new spring with precise winding to the exact number of turns specified for your door's weight and configuration. This precise installation is critical—improper winding creates dangerous situations and causes premature spring failure. Throughout the installation process, we follow strict safety protocols, use proper tools, and ensure every step is performed correctly.
After installing new springs, we thoroughly test your door's balance by manually lifting it halfway and releasing it—a properly balanced door should stay in place without drifting up or down. We test full operation cycles, verify smooth movement throughout the entire range of motion, check that the opener motor operates efficiently without strain, and ensure that all safety features function correctly. We also inspect cables, pulleys, and related components to ensure they're in good condition and properly aligned, making any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal system performance.
Before completing the service, we provide recommendations for extending spring life, explain signs that indicate springs may be approaching failure, and discuss whether replacing both springs simultaneously (even if only one broke) makes sense for your situation. We also explain that springs typically last 7-10 years depending on usage, and recommend periodic inspections to catch wear before failure occurs. Our goal is not just to fix your immediate problem but to help you maintain a reliable garage door system that operates safely and smoothly for years to come.
