Garage Door Extension Springs in Dallas, TX
Extension springs counter‑balance the full weight of your overhead door. When they stretch and contract evenly, the door feels almost weightless; when they fatigue, the door becomes heavy, jerky, and dangerous. Because each spring is under hundreds of pounds of tension, professional service is essential to protect people, property, and the door itself
Our Extension‑Spring Services
1 | Comprehensive Inspection & Diagnosis
We measure spring length, stretch, cycle count and cable integrity, then run a 20‑point safety test on rollers, drums and tracks.
2 | Precision Adjustment
If springs are sound but imbalanced, we equalize tension, set proper door travel, and verify that the opener’s force settings meet UL 325 safety standards.
3 | Durable Replacement
When a spring is at end‑of‑life or has lost more than 50 % of its lifting force, we replace both springs with matched, high‑cycle oil‑tempered steel and new safety cables. Every installation is torque‑balanced to within 2 lb of door weight.
4 | Preventive Maintenance
Annual lubrication, cable inspection and balance testing catch fatigue before it becomes an emergency—saving you money on openers, panels and hinges.
5 | Emergency Response – Dallas‑Wide

Why Timely Spring Service Matters
Safety first – A fractured extension spring can whip across the garage with enough force to cause severe injury or damage. Installing mandatory safety cables keeps a broken spring from flying loose.
Door balance & opener life – A weak spring forces the opener motor to lift extra weight, shortening its lifespan and stressing gears.
Cycle limits – Standard extension springs are rated for about 10,000 door cycles (≈ 7–12 years). Heavy use or poor maintenance shortens that window.
Extension vs. Torsion: Considering an Upgrade?
While extension springs mount along the horizontal tracks, torsion systems sit above the door and deliver smoother, quieter motion with fewer moving parts. Ask our technicians whether a torsion conversion is the right long‑term upgrade for your door and budget.

Garage Door Extension Springs - FAQ
How can I tell my extension springs are failing?
Look for a door that feels heavy, won’t stay halfway open, sags on one side, or has visible gaps between spring coils.
Is it really dangerous to replace springs myself?
Yes. Springs store lethal energy; incorrect handling can cause serious injury or structural damage. Always hire a trained professional.
How long do new springs last?
Standard springs last ~10,000 cycles. High‑cycle options (20,000 +) are available for doors that open many times a day.
What maintenance keeps springs in top shape?
Annual professional inspection, light oiling of coils, checking safety cables, and balancing the door prevent premature failure.
