Across Houston, garage door springs take a beating from heat, humidity, and constant daily use, and they’re usually the first part of the system to fail. A garage door spring winds and unwinds thousands of times a year lifting a door that can weigh 150 to 200 pounds, so eventually the metal gives out and a garage door spring replacement becomes the only real fix. Aura Garage Door Repair Houston sees the same handful of causes on almost every call across our Houston service area, and the local climate makes a couple of them worse than they’d be elsewhere. Torsion springs are the most common type on modern doors, and also the most misunderstood part of the whole system.
Most springs give you some warning before they go: a loud bang from the garage, the door suddenly feeling heavier, the opener straining or reversing without lifting it, a visible gap in the coils, or the door hanging crooked on one side. Notice any of that, call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston before it fully breaks, catching it early is a lot cheaper and safer than an emergency repair.
Never force open a garage door with a broken spring, doing that can burn out the opener, bend the panels, or drop the door without warning. Call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston at (713) 581-6335 for garage door spring repair in Houston, and here’s what happens next.
Torsion springs are wound under serious tension, sometimes hundreds of pounds of force, and releasing that with the wrong tools can cause real injury. It’s not a ladder-and-wrench job. We’ve replaced springs on garage doors of every size and weight across Houston, and Houston homeowners have left us reviews saying as much, we treat every broken spring like the emergency it is.
Most residential garage doors use one of two spring types. The easiest way to tell is to look above the door: a single spring on a metal bar running horizontally right above the opening is a torsion spring, while two springs running along the tracks on either side, stretching when the door is down, are extension springs.
The Aura Garage Door Repair Houston team services both spring types across Harris County. Not sure which one you have, or wondering whether a repair or a full new door installation makes more sense for an older system? Contact us and we’ll walk you through it, and through pricing, over the phone.
Realistically, no. Torsion springs are wound under hundreds of pounds of tension, and releasing that with the wrong tools is one of the most common ways people get seriously hurt working on a garage door. It’s not a YouTube-tutorial job. Call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston and we’ll handle it safely.
Realistically, yes. Both springs wear at close to the same rate, so if one snapped the other is right behind it. Replacing both now saves you a second service call a few weeks later.
It depends on your spring type and door size. Give Aura Garage Door Repair Houston a call at (713) 581-6335 and we’ll walk you through pricing over the phone before any work starts. Estimates are always free.
Most garage door spring repairs are a same-day, one-visit job — once a technician is on-site, replacing a torsion or extension spring typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We always carry matched springs for the most common door weights and sizes on the truck, so there’s rarely a need for a second trip. Call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston and we’ll get a technician out to you fast.
Ignoring a broken spring is how small problems turn into expensive ones. Without a working spring, the opener carries the full weight of the door, which can burn out the motor or strip the gears fast, that’s often how a simple spring job turns into a full opener repair too. It’s also a common reason doors get stuck and won’t open at all. Don’t wait it out, call us before a small fix becomes a big one.
No, stop using it immediately. With a broken spring, the door has no counterbalance, so the opener (or you, manually) ends up lifting the full 150 to 200 pounds unsupported. That’s a serious injury and damage risk, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that turns into an emergency garage door repair. Leave the door down, call Aura Garage Door Repair Houston, and we’ll get someone out same-day.
