The Right Spring, Balanced for Your Door.
02 THE SHORT ANSWER
Garage Door Spring Repair, Explained
Springs do the heavy lifting on a garage door. A typical two-car door weighs well over a hundred pounds, and the springs counterbalance that weight so the opener, or your arm, only has to guide it. Most residential doors use torsion springs mounted on a bar above the opening; some older or lighter doors use extension springs that run along the horizontal tracks.
Every spring is rated for a set number of open-and-close cycles, so springs eventually wear out and break, often with a loud bang. When that happens the door becomes too heavy for the opener to lift safely.
CBJ Overhead Door Company replaces broken garage door springs for homeowners in Waco, Woodway, Hewitt, Robinson, Lorena, McGregor, China Spring, and the surrounding area. Blake sizes the new springs to your door, sets the tension, balances the door, and checks the cables, rollers, and opener so the repair lasts.

05 SERVICE QUESTIONS
Know Before
You Book.
How do I know my garage door spring is broken?+
Common signs are a loud bang from the garage, a door that will not open or only lifts a few inches, a gap in the coiled spring above the door, or a door that feels very heavy when lifted by hand.
Should I replace both springs?+
On doors with two torsion springs, both are usually the same age and have used about the same number of cycles, so replacing them as a pair keeps the door balanced. Blake will explain what your door needs.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?+
It is safest to leave the door closed. Springs carry most of the door's weight, and forcing it open with the opener can damage the motor or cause the door to drop.
