We don't use cheap builder-grade springs. Every replacement uses high-cycle torsion or extension springs matched to your door's weight and cycle rating — DASMA-standard high-cycle springs are rated for 20,000 to 50,000 cycles compared to 10,000 for builder-grade. Your new spring lasts years longer than the original.

Spring Repair vs. Replacement

Why Broken Garage Door Springs Are Replaced Rather Than Repaired

Searching for "garage door spring repair"? A fractured or snapped torsion or extension spring under tension cannot be safely welded, stretched or patched — the only lasting fix is a new spring sized to your door. Our "spring repair" service in San Antonio is replacement, plus the adjustment, balancing and safety checks that go with it.

Garage door spring types, cycle ratings and expected lifespan
Spring category DASMA cycle rating Expected lifespan Optimal application
Standard builder grade 10,000 cycles 3 – 5 years Light residential daily use (1–2 cycles/day)
High-cycle oil-tempered 20,000 – 30,000 cycles 7 – 10 years Standard multi-driver family residences
Commercial grade galvanized 50,000+ cycles 12+ years High-frequency residential & commercial bays

How much does garage door spring replacement cost in San Antonio?

In San Antonio, TX, professional garage door spring replacement typically ranges between $150 and $350, including parts and labor. Costs vary depending on whether your door requires single or dual springs, and whether you choose standard 10,000-cycle springs or high-cycle 20,000+ cycle torsion springs.

Can you safely open a garage door with a broken spring?

No. Never operate a garage door with a broken spring manually or with an electric opener. Springs counterbalance 150 to 400 pounds of door weight; operating a door without spring tension can burn out the opener motor, snap cables, or cause the door to crash down dangerously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we always recommend replacing both springs. Because they share identical cycle lifespans and structural usage history, the companion spring will almost always break shortly after the first one fails.

Standard builder-grade replacement springs offer roughly 10,000 cycles (typically 3–5 years of daily use). We also carry premium, high-cycle industrial torsion springs rated for 20,000 to 50,000 cycles for heavy use structures.

Torsion springs are mounted horizontally on a solid shaft directly above the garage door opening. Extension springs are mounted along the sides of the overhead tracks and stretch vertically to lift the door load.

Our service technicians always measure the door's exact width, height, and wire gauge size, or use precise analytical scales. Using unmatched springs will throw the system out of balance and damage your opener.

Yes. For all side-mount extension spring replacements, we install heavy-duty steel safety cables right down the center of the coils to prevent pieces from causing damage or injury if a spring snaps down the road.

Costs vary depending on whether your door requires single or dual springs, and whether you choose standard 10,000-cycle springs or high-cycle 20,000+ cycle torsion springs.
