Garage Door Spring Replacement
A broken spring is not a minor fix. We replace it correctly so the door runs the way it should.
A garage door spring carries the full weight of the door on every open and close cycle. When one breaks, the door becomes dead weight the opener was never designed to lift alone. Dang O’ Dang Garage Doors has been replacing torsion and extension springs across Wimberley, TX and the Hill Country for over 10 years. Every replacement starts with an on-site assessment, upfront pricing, and a 1-year labor warranty.
Professional Garage Door Spring Replacement Services
Torsion springs wind under tension as the door closes, storing energy needed to lift it back open. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks and stretch under load. Both are rated at around 10,000 cycles and wear faster where temperature swings cause metal to expand and contract repeatedly. We size every replacement spring to the exact door weight because an undersized spring fails early and puts the wrong load on the opener.
Garage Door Spring Replacement in Wimberley, TX
Hill Country temperature swings of 40 to 50 degrees accelerate spring fatigue faster than the rated cycle life suggests. A spring on a Wimberley home dealing with extreme afternoon heat and cool evenings wears differently than one in a controlled environment. After 10 years in these conditions, we size springs accordingly.

Our Spring Replacement Process
Assessment
We identify the spring type, measure the door weight, and inspect cables and bearings before starting.
Spring Removal
We release tension on the old spring safely. A spring under full tension stores energy and must be handled correctly.
Sizing and Installation
Torsion springs are wound to the correct turns for door height and weight. Extension springs are matched to cable length and drum size.
Cable and Hardware Inspection
We check cables, drums, and bearings while the system is open. A frayed cable or seized bearing costs nothing extra now but means a second service call if left.
Balance and Function Check
We disconnect the opener and lift the door to waist height. A balanced door holds position without drifting before we reconnect and run a full cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The clearest sign is a door that will not open or opens only a few inches before stopping. You may also hear a loud bang when the spring snaps because torsion springs release stored tension instantly when they fail. A door that feels unusually heavy when lifted manually is another sign the spring has lost tension or broken.
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard torsion springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles. At two cycles per day, that works out to roughly 13 to 14 years under normal conditions. In the Hill Country, where daily temperature swings cause repeated expansion and contraction of the metal, springs can wear faster than that rating suggests.
Is it safe to operate a garage door with a broken spring?
No. A door with a broken spring puts the full weight of the door on the opener motor, which is not designed to carry that load. Continued operation risks burning out the opener and can cause cables to snap under uneven tension.
Can you replace just one spring or do both need to be replaced?
On a two-spring system, replacing both at the same time is the recommended approach. If one spring has reached the end of its cycle life, the other is typically close behind. Replacing both avoids a second service call and ensures the door runs with balanced tension on both sides.
How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Wimberley, TX?
Spring replacement starts at $240 for a standard torsion spring. The final cost depends on the spring type, size, and whether any cables, drums, or bearings need attention at the same time.
