Emergency Garage Door Spring Replacement Rio Rancho

Expert Garage Door Broken Spring Repair in Rio Rancho, NM

Is your garage door refusing to lift? Did you hear a loud "bang" from the garage this morning? A broken spring is one of the most common—and dangerous—garage door issues. In the high-desert climate of Rio Rancho, extreme temperature fluctuations can cause metal springs to become brittle and snap unexpectedly. At Dave's Garage Door Repair Rio Rancho, we specialize in fast, professional, and safe garage door spring replacement. We help Rio Rancho homeowners get their cars out of the garage and their lives back on track.

Signs Your Garage Door Spring is Broken

Your garage door springs do the heavy lifting. When they fail, your opener alone isn’t strong enough to move the door. Look for these common symptoms:

A Loud Bang:

You might hear a sound like a gunshot or a firecracker coming from your garage

The 6-Inch Stop:

The door starts to open but stops after only a few inches because the opener's safety sensors detect the excessive weight.

Visible Gaps:

If you look at the horizontal bar above your door, you’ll see a clear 2"–3" gap in the coiled spring.

Cables Hanging Loose:

When a spring snaps, the tension is lost, often causing the lift cables to unspool or hang off the sides.

The Door is Extremely Heavy:

If you pull the emergency release and cannot lift the door by hand, the spring is definitely broken.

Garage door springs are under extreme tension. They store enough energy to lift a 150–400 lb door.

Warning:

Attempting to replace torsion springs without the proper winding bars and technical training can result in severe injury or property damage.
