How long does a garage door spring replacement take?

Usually under an hour once on site. Wanda trucks carry common spring sizes, so most jobs are diagnosed and completed in the same visit.

How long do new garage door springs last?

Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles — roughly 7 to 10 years of typical use. High-cycle springs last significantly longer.

Why did my garage door spring break in cold weather?

Steel contracts in the cold, and an older spring under full tension can snap when the temperature drops — it's why we see a spike in spring calls during Texas cold snaps. If your spring is 7+ years old, a winter break is very common.

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door and lift by twisting; extension springs stretch along the tracks on each side. Torsion systems run smoother, last longer, and are safer because they fail in place instead of flying loose. We service and replace both.

Do you replace garage door springs at night or on weekends?

Yes. Spring replacement is our most common emergency call, so we run 24/7 across Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston and stock standard spring sizes on every truck — most doors are lifting again the same visit.

How much does garage door spring replacement cost?

It depends on the spring type, the door's weight, and whether one or both springs are replaced. You get an exact upfront price at your door before any work starts — no surprises — and 0% financing is available.

Q: Should I replace both springs if only one broke?

On a two-spring door, yes. They were installed together and wear together — replacing both keeps the door balanced and saves a second service call within months.

Please Don't DIY This One

Garage springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension. Winding them without the right bars and training sends people to the ER every year. Unplug the opener, leave the door where it is, and let a Wanda tech handle the tension safely.

sound familiar?

Is Your Spring Gone?

You Heard A Bang

A spring snapping sounds like a firecracker in the garage. That's usually the moment it happened.

Door Won't Lift

The opener strains, hums, or lifts a few inches and gives up — it can't carry the weight alone.

Visible Gap

Look at the spring above the door: a clean 2-inch gap in the coil means it has snapped.

Crooked Or Jerky

Door rises unevenly or slams down fast — one of a pair of springs has likely failed.

Spring Questions

Can I still open my door with a broken spring?

Don't try. The spring does the lifting — without it the full weight of the door is on you (and your opener). Forcing it can bend the door, burn out the opener, or hurt you. Leave it and call.

Should I replace both springs if only one broke?

On a two-spring door, yes — they were installed together and wear together. Replacing both saves you a second service call within months, and keeps the door balanced.

How long does a spring replacement take?

Usually under an hour once we're on site. We carry common spring sizes on the truck, so most jobs are diagnosed and done in the same visit.

How long do new springs last?

Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles (roughly 7–10 years of typical use). Our high-cycle options push that far higher — ask your tech what fits your usage.
