Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement in San Antonio, TX
— Same-Day Service

Garage door springs carry the entire weight of the door. That is why a door with a failed spring feels immovable — the opener was never designed to lift the weight on its own, only to guide a door the springs have already balanced.

There are two systems. Torsion springs sit on a steel shaft above the opening and are what most San Antonio homes have. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks either side of the door and are more common on older or lighter doors.

Either type is replaced in pairs. Both springs were fitted at the same time and have done the same work, so replacing only the failed one leaves an unbalanced door and a second call-out within months. Spring work is done under high tension with winding bars and is genuinely not a DIY job.

READ WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT OUR GARAGE DOOR SPRING REPAIR & REPLACEMENT

We had a spring go ka-bam last night. First thing this morning, we called Mojo and they had a team-member, Sholom, out here by 11am. He gave us a couple options to fix and we opted to remove both springs and he installed a torsion conversion kit that uses a wound up spring instead of the old static pulled springs that run along the upper guide rails. Sholom was very polite and got us fixed today. We appreciated it very much.

The garage now feels much more comfortable, and I appreciate the quality of their work. I would highly recommend them for anyone in need of garage door repairs.

Detailed Signs of Worn or Broken Garage Door Springs

Garage door springs don’t last forever. They undergo significant stress with every cycle of opening and closing your garage door. Recognizing the early signs of wear or a broken spring can prevent further damage to your system and ensure your safety. Look out for the following indicators.

Loud Bang

The most obvious sign of a broken torsion spring is a sudden, loud noise coming from your garage. This is the sound of the spring snapping under tension.

Difficulty Opening the Door

If your garage door feels incredibly heavy when you try to lift it manually, or if your automatic opener struggles significantly (or fails) to open it, it's a strong indication that the springs are no longer providing the necessary lift assistance.

Door Opens Unevenly

A broken or weakened spring on one side of the door can cause it to lift or lower unevenly, often resulting in the door appearing crooked or getting stuck in the tracks.

Visible Gap in the Spring

For torsion springs mounted above the door, a clear gap (usually several inches) within the spring itself is a definitive sign that it is broken. Extension springs (running along the horizontal tracks) will appear stretched out or detached.

Door Falls Quickly

If your garage door slams shut rapidly when closing, the springs are not providing adequate resistance, indicating they are worn or broken.

Garage Door Opener Overworking

You may notice your opener motor straining more than usual or hear unusual noises from the opener as it tries to compensate for the lack of spring tension.

Visible Rust or Damage on Springs

Corrosion or visible kinks and deformation on the springs can indicate they are nearing the end of their lifespan and are more susceptible to breaking.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to stop using your garage door immediately and contact a professional garage door service for inspection and repair.

Common Causes Requiring Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement in San Antonio

Garage door springs are under constant tension and are one of the most crucial components for lifting and lowering your garage door smoothly. However, they can break due to several reasons, often leading to a non-functional or unsafe garage door. Understanding these causes can help prevent future issues and ensure timely maintenance.

Wear and Tear - The most common cause of garage door spring failure is simple wear and tear. Most springs are designed to last for a specific number of cycles (with one cycle being a single opening and closing of the door). Standard springs typically have a lifespan of 10,000 cycles, which means regular use over several years can naturally lead to their breakdown.
Rust and Corrosion - Rust formation on the springs can significantly reduce their lifespan by increasing friction on the coil while it winds and unwinds. This additional friction can cause the spring to break sooner than expected. Regular maintenance, including lubrication, can help prevent rust and extend the life of your garage door springs.
Improper Maintenance - Neglecting regular maintenance, such as lubrication and tension adjustment, can lead to premature spring failure. Springs should be checked and serviced by professionals to ensure they are in optimal condition and to identify any potential issues before they result in a breakdown.
Poor Installation or Incorrect Spring Size - Incorrect installation or the use of the wrong size of spring for your garage door can lead to excessive tension and early failure. It's crucial that the spring's specifications match the weight and size of the door for balanced and safe operation.
Sudden Temperature Changes - In some cases, extreme temperature fluctuations can contribute to spring failure. Cold weather, in particular, can make the metal in the springs more brittle, increasing the risk of breaking.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A few hours before leaving for a Doctor's Appointment, I tried to open my garage door, but all it did was jerk and become stuck in place. Both cars were in the garage and I couldn't leave.  I called Mojo after finding the listing on Angie's.  The very friendly and understanding person who answered put me in touch with Moshe, who said he could come right out and fix it.  He was at my home in less than 20 minutes, ready to go.  He unlocked my stuck door, diagnosed the problem, installed a new opener in less than an hour and the price was very reasonable, especially for a last-minute job. He was so very nice and pleasant and made sure to check that everything was working before leaving.  Both my husband and I were so very impressed with all he did and how very kind and knowledgeable he was.  We will be using him as our go-to person for any garage door problems we have in the future!
