Garage door spring replacement, done right
Springs do the heavy lifting — not the opener. When one breaks, the door suddenly weighs as much as a small car, and the opener can strip gears or pull the door crooked trying to lift it.
We replace broken torsion springs (above the door) and extension springs (along the side tracks), and we recommend replacing both springs on a two-spring door so the door stays balanced and the second spring doesn’t fail next week.
- Torsion spring replacement — one- and two-spring doors
- Extension spring replacement with safety cables
- High-cycle springs available for busy doors
- Cables, drums, rollers and center bearing checked on every visit
- Door balanced and auto-reverse tested before we leave
Signs you need broken garage door spring repair
Most spring failures are obvious once you know what to look for:
- A loud bang from the garage, often in cold mornings or Texas heat swings
- A 2-inch gap in the spring coil above the door
- The door feels extremely heavy or lifts only a few inches
- The opener hums or the door goes up crooked
- Cables hanging loose beside the door
Please don’t force a door with a broken spring
Springs and cables are under high tension. Don’t pull the door up by hand, keep running the opener, or loosen any bolts on the spring bracket. Leave the door closed if you can, keep people and pets clear, and call (877) 547-9033 — we answer 24/7.

Garage door spring replacement: what to expect
Garage door spring replacement is our most common job. We replace torsion springs (above the door) and extension springs (along the tracks), matched to your door’s weight and height, then balance the door and test the opener’s safety reverse.
Most homes with two springs should replace both at once so they wear evenly. We’ll explain your options before any work starts. Fort Brothers is family owned, has served DFW since 2017 and has an office in Mesquite. You get a no-cost estimate, our Price Match Guarantee, a lifetime warranty on parts we install and a 90-day labor warranty.

FAQ
Common questions
How fast can you replace a broken garage door spring?
Same-day spring replacement is often available across Dallas–Fort Worth, and we answer calls 24/7. Call (877) 547-9033 and we’ll give you the first available time.
Should I replace both springs?
On a two-spring door, yes. Springs wear at the same rate, so when one breaks the other is close behind. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and saves a second visit.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
We don’t recommend it. The door is very heavy without spring help and can fall. If a car is trapped, call us — we can often get there quickly.
Do you warranty spring replacement?
Yes. You get a lifetime warranty on parts we install and a 90-day labor warranty.
How much does garage door spring replacement cost?
It depends on your door’s size and weight and the springs it needs. We give a no-cost estimate before starting, there’s no service-call fee when we do the work, and our Price Match Guarantee applies.
