Broken Spring? Don't Wait — Call Dane Today
A broken garage door spring is the most common reason a garage door won't open — and one of the most dangerous repairs to attempt on your own. The springs on your door are under hundreds of pounds of tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly.
As Beaumont's local garage door expert with over 20 years of experience, I carry torsion and extension springs for all major door sizes right on my truck. Most spring replacements in Beaumont are completed the same day you call — often within a few hours.
Whether your spring snapped overnight or your door is making that grinding metal sound that tells you it's about to go, give me a call and I'll take care of it safely, quickly, and at a fair price. See all of our garage door services in Beaumont, TX.
Torsion Springs vs. Extension Springs
Most Beaumont homes have one of two spring types. Knowing the difference helps you understand what's involved in the repair — but either way, I've got you covered.
🔩 Torsion Springs
The most common type in modern homes. Mounted horizontally above the garage door opening, torsion springs wind and unwind to lift and lower the door. They're stronger, last longer, and are safer than extension springs.
- Mounted above the door on a steel shaft
- Typically last 10,000–20,000 cycles
- Most Beaumont homes built after 1990 use torsion springs
- When one breaks, the door won't open at all
🔧 Extension Springs
Found on older homes and lighter doors, extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. They stretch and contract to counterbalance the door's weight.
- Mounted along the side tracks
- Typically last 7,000–10,000 cycles
- More common in older Beaumont homes
- Should always include safety cables to prevent injury if they snap
💡 Which Do You Have?
Not sure which type is on your door? No problem — just call and describe what you see. If there's a single spring above the door centered on a bar, it's torsion. If there are springs running along the sides of the door, it's extension.
- I carry both types on my truck
- I'll always replace in pairs to ensure balanced operation
- I'll recommend the right spring weight for your door size
- All replacements include a full system safety check
Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Broken
Not sure if it's the spring? These are the most common warning signs Beaumont homeowners call me about.
Door Won't Open
The opener motor runs but the door won't lift — or only opens a few inches. This is the most tell-tale sign of a broken torsion spring.
Loud Bang From the Garage
Many homeowners describe hearing a loud bang, like a firecracker or gunshot, coming from the garage. That's the spring snapping under tension.
Visible Gap in the Spring
Look above your door — if you can see a gap or separation in the coil of the spring, it has broken and needs immediate replacement.
Door Feels Extremely Heavy
Try manually lifting the door with the opener disconnected. A properly balanced door should lift easily. If it feels like dead weight, the spring is gone.
Door Opens Crooked
If one side of the door rises higher than the other, one spring may have broken on a two-spring system, causing uneven tension.
Grinding or Squeaking
A spring that's wearing out before it fully breaks will often make grinding or squeaking sounds during operation — a warning sign worth acting on early.

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The most common sign is a door that won't open even though you can hear the opener motor running. You may also notice a visible gap in the spring coil above the door, or you might have heard a loud bang when it snapped. Try lifting the door manually — a door with a broken spring will feel extremely heavy and difficult to lift.
Should I replace one spring or both?
I always recommend replacing springs in pairs. If one has broken, the other is typically the same age and under the same wear. Replacing both at once saves you a second service call and ensures the door operates with balanced tension on both sides — which protects your opener, cables, and tracks from unnecessary strain.
How long do garage door springs last?
Most springs are rated for 10,000 cycles — one cycle being one full open and close. For an average household using the door 4 times a day, that works out to roughly 7 years. Higher-cycle springs (rated 20,000–30,000 cycles) are available and worth considering if you use your garage frequently. I'll recommend the right option for your usage when I'm on site.
Can I still use my garage door with a broken spring?
I strongly advise against it. Operating your opener with a broken spring puts enormous strain on the opener motor and can burn it out, bend the door panels, damage the cables, or cause the door to fall suddenly. If the spring is broken, disconnect the opener and don't use the door until it's repaired.
