Garage Door Spring Repair Castle Hills, TX

Garage Door Spring Repair Castle Hills, TX

We run spring repair across Robards and the surrounding Castle Hills area and the wider Bexar County area — quick turnaround when you call early, flat-rate always, and guaranteed for ten years.

Weather matters more than most Castle Hills homeowners expect. Local conditions — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity — drive damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Texas's humid subtropical region.

Across Bexar County, the garage door problems we see again and again are degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.

Garage door springs are the single most-loaded component on the entire system — a typical residential torsion spring stores enough energy to lift a 200-pound door dozens of times a day. When that spring fatigues or snaps, the door becomes unsafe to operate by hand and dangerous to operate with an opener. Our spring repair service replaces broken or worn springs, recalibrates door balance, and verifies the entire counter-weight system so the door lifts evenly and the opener does not strain.

We carry a full inventory of torsion springs, extension springs, and 30,000-cycle high-cycle springs sized for the most common residential door weights nationwide. Most homeowners are running 10,000-cycle springs from a builder install; upgrading to 30,000-cycle springs at replacement time costs only marginally more and triples expected lifespan. Every spring repair includes a full balance test, photo-eye verification, and an opener force/travel calibration.

Spring work is one of the few garage door repairs where DIY genuinely puts you at risk. The torque stored in a fully-wound torsion spring can release a winding bar at high velocity if the bar slips. Our techs are CSLB-licensed and carry liability coverage for spring work; calling a professional almost always costs less than an emergency-room visit.

Signs you need spring repair

• Loud bang from the garage

  A failed torsion spring makes a distinct sharp crack that homeowners often mistake for a gunshot or a transformer blowing. Inspect the spring above the door for a visible 2-inch gap between coils.

• Door feels twice as heavy

  If the door is hard to lift by hand or the opener strains and reverses partway up, the spring is undertensioned, worn, or broken. A balanced door should lift with one hand.

• Door drops fast when released

  Disconnect the opener and lift the door to chest height. If you let go and it slams down, the spring is no longer counter-weighting the panels correctly.

• Opener motor whines but door barely moves

  Modern openers protect themselves by reversing under load. A failing spring forces the motor into that protection mode and shortens the opener's life if not corrected.

• Visible gap in the torsion spring coil

  Healthy torsion springs are wound tight along their full length. Even a half-inch gap between coils indicates a snapped spring — call before attempting to use the door.

Common causes & what we fix

• Cycle fatigue

  Every open-and-close is one cycle. Builder-grade springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles — roughly 7–10 years of typical use. Heavy users (3+ cycles/day) see failure earlier.

• Corrosion from coastal air

  Homes in coastal see accelerated corrosion on uncoated springs. Salt-air pitting weakens the wire and triggers premature snaps.

• Improper spring sizing

  If a builder undersized the original springs for the door weight, the spring runs at higher stress per cycle and fails years early. We size replacements by measured door weight, not guess.

• Missing lubrication

  Torsion springs need a light coat of oil annually to prevent friction wear between coils. A dry spring fatigues 30–40% faster than a maintained one.

• Door imbalance

  Sagging panels or off-track travel transfer load unevenly to the springs, accelerating failure on the over-loaded side. Repair work should always include a balance check.
