Spring Repair in Amarillo, Texas
That Loud Bang From Your Garage? Yeah, That Was the Spring.
You were inside the house. Maybe watching TV. Maybe eating dinner. Then - BANG. Sounded like a gunshot. You ran to the garage and found your door sitting dead on the ground.
That's a broken garage door spring. And it happens more often than people think.
Why Garage Door Springs Break
Springs carry the entire weight of your door. Every time that door goes up and down, the springs twist and untwist. Over and over. Day after day.
Most torsion springs last around 10,000 cycles. Sounds like a lot - until you realize a busy household opens that door four or five times daily. Do the math. That's roughly seven years before the metal gives out.
Cold weather speeds things up. Rust eats into the coils. Lack of maintenance dries out the lubrication. One morning the spring just quits.
Torsion Springs vs Extension Springs
Your garage door runs on one of two spring types.
Torsion springs mount above the door on a metal shaft. They twist to store energy. Most modern doors use these. Stronger, smoother, last longer.
Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on both sides. Older setups mostly. They stretch instead of twist. When these snap, they can fly across the garage - which is why safety cables exist.
DoorFixy technicians carry both types on their trucks. No ordering parts. No second visit. We match the right spring to your door's weight and size, swap it out, and test everything before we leave.
Don't Touch a Broken Spring Yourself
This isn't a DIY project. A wound torsion spring holds enough force to break bones. Extension springs under tension turn into metal whips when they snap loose.
Our guys do this every single day. Trained hands. Proper tools. Zero guesswork.
