Garage Door Emergency Spring Repair in Houston, TX

Sky Lock & Doors delivers rapid Emergency Garage Door Spring Replacement to homeowners in Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and Houston.

Did you just hear a loud “BANG” from your garage? If your garage door refuses to open, feels incredibly heavy, or you see a visible gap in the coil above the door, your torsion spring has likely snapped.

STOP! Do not try to open the door manually. A garage door with a broken spring is “dead weight” and can weigh over 300 lbs. Attempting to lift it—or forcing your electric opener to pull it—can burn out your motor, snap your cables, or cause serious personal injury.

Spring Repair Services We Provide

We don’t use cheap “builder-grade” parts. We repair your door to be stronger than it was before.

Door Balancing: We ensure your door floats perfectly halfway up—the sign of a healthy, balanced system.

Torsion Spring Replacement: We cut and wind new springs on-site to match your door’s exact weight.

Dual-Spring Conversions: If your door only has one spring, we can upgrade you to a two-spring system for smoother, safer operation and longer life.

Extension Spring Repair: We service older “stretch” springs found on lighter doors, including installing safety cables.

Cable Replacement: If your spring snapped, your cables often get tangled or thrown off the drum. We reset and replace them.

The Danger of DIY Spring Repair

We love DIY projects, but garage door springs are not safe for DIY. The torsion spring holds an immense amount of potential energy—enough to lift a 400lb wall of steel. Without the proper winding bars and training, the tension can release accurately, causing severe hand and facial injuries.

Save yourself the risk. Our technicians can complete a safe, warrantied spring change in under 60 minutes.r home’s comfort.

Why We Use “High-Cycle” Springs

Most new homes in Houston are built with “Standard Cycle” springs, rated for about 10,000 open/close cycles (roughly 3–5 years of use).

At Sky Lock, we install High-Cycle Oil Tempered Springs rated for 20,000+ cycles.

Better Value: You pay a small fraction more for double the lifespan.

Longer Lifespan: These springs last years longer than standard parts.

Rust Resistant: The oil-tempered coating fights against Houston’s humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions We Receive in Houston, TX

Can I use the emergency release cord to open the door?

Be very careful. If the spring is broken, pulling the red emergency cord will release the door from the opener, but the door will be extremely heavy (dead weight). If the door is currently open, DO NOT pull the cord, as the door could slam down and crash. Only pull it if the door is fully closed and you are strong enough to lift 100+ lbs manually.

How much does spring replacement cost?

Cost varies based on the size and weight of your door (which determines the size of the spring needed). We provide a clear, upfront quote after measuring your door—no hidden service fees.

Should I replace both springs if only one broke?

Yes, absolutely. Both springs were installed at the same time and have done the same amount of work. If one breaks, the second one is usually just days or weeks away from breaking too. Replacing both saves you the cost of a second service call.

How do I know if I have Torsion or Extension springs?

Torsion Springs are located on a metal bar above the door header (horizontal). Extension Springs run along the sides of the track (perpendicular to the door) and stretch out when the door closes. We service both.
