Broken Garage Door Spring Repair in Coppell, TX
The heartbeat of your garage door system has stopped. We provide the emergency resuscitation it needs.​
If you are reading this, your day has likely ground to a sudden halt. One minute, your garage door was working fine; the next, a deafening “BANG” echoed through your home, or your opener hummed helplessly while the door refused to budge. You are now dealing with the most common and critical mechanical failure in the industry: a broken spring.
At Coppell Garage Door Pros, we understand that a broken spring isn’t just an inconvenience; it is a complete disruption of your life. Your car is trapped inside, your home’s security is compromised, and you are left wondering who to trust. As the leading specialists in garage door spring repair in Coppell, TX, we have helped thousands of your neighbors in the 75019 zip code get back on track within hours, not days.
Unlike general handymen, our technicians are certified Spring Replacement Experts. We understand the precise physics required to lift your heavy 300lb overhead door. Whether you have a standard torsion spring system (mounted above the door) or an older extension spring setup (mounted alongside the tracks), we have the exact parts on our trucks right now to fix it safely. We don’t make you wait while parts are ordered. We arrive, we measure, and we fix it, often in under 60 minutes.
Why is this urgent? A garage door with a broken spring is essentially a falling wall. The spring holds 90% of the door’s weight. Without it, that heavy steel wall is dead weight. Attempting to lift it manually can cause back injuries, and using your automatic opener can strip its internal gears in seconds.
Put safety first. Step away from the door, keep children and pets out of the garage, and call the local team that prioritizes your safety.

Did You Hear a Loud "BANG"? (Read This First)
The sound of a garage door spring snapping is often compared to a gunshot. This is the sound of stored energy releasing instantly.
-
Immediate Action: Do not pull the red emergency release cord if the door is open. The door could crash down.
-
Visual Check: Look above your closed garage door. If you see a 2-inch gap in the coil of the spring, it has snapped.
The Dangers of DIY Spring Repair
We understand the temptation to watch a YouTube video and fix it yourself. Please, for your safety, reconsider.
Extreme Tension: Garage springs are wound tight enough to lift a 300lb steel wall. If a winding bar slips or a bracket breaks while you are working on it, the release of energy can break bones, sever fingers, or worse.
Wrong Tools: Professional technicians use hardened steel winding bars. Screwdrivers or improvised tools can snap under pressure.
Incorrect Size: Installing the wrong spring size (even by an inch) can make the door “hot” (shoots up too fast) or heavy (crashes down), damaging your opener and door panels.
Torsion vs. Extension: We Fix Both
Not sure what kind of spring system you have? Look inside your garage.
Torsion Spring Replacement (Above the Door)
This is the most common system in Coppell homes.
The Component: A metal coil located on a shaft directly above the garage door header.
The Failure: When it breaks, you will see a visible 2-inch gap in the coil.
Our Fix: We remove the broken spring and install a new pair of matched torsion springs, winding them to the precise torque required for your specific door weight.
Extension Spring Replacement (Side of Door)
Common in older homes or garages with low headroom.
The Component: Long springs running parallel to the ceiling tracks on the left and right sides.
The Failure: These stretch and contract. When they snap, they can fly across the garage like a missile.
Our Fix: We replace the springs and install Safety Cables. Safety cables thread through the spring and secure it to the wall, preventing it from flying loose if it breaks in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Spring Repairs
How much does spring replacement cost in Coppell?
The price depends on the size (wire gauge and length) of the spring needed to balance your specific door. We provide upfront pricing with zero hidden fees. Our service call is just $29.
Can I just replace one spring?
We highly recommend replacing both. Springs are installed in pairs and experience the same wear and tear. If one breaks, the other is likely at the end of its life too. Replacing both now saves you the cost of a second emergency call next month.
