The classic sound of a torsion spring letting go.
Look at the bar above the door — a two-inch gap means it's broken.
The opener is straining against unassisted door weight and will burn out.
Lost spring tension. Extremely dangerous — keep kids and cars clear.
When a spring fails, cables unwind off the drum and need re-rigging.
A balanced door should lift with two fingers. Heavy means the springs are done.
Torsion springs store enough energy to break bones and send winding bars through drywall. Every year emergency rooms across Texas see injuries from homeowners with the wrong tools. A trained tech does this job in under an hour with the right bars and safety procedure.
Both springs have the same age and cycle count. When one breaks, the other is at the end of its life too. Replacing both costs far less than a second service call weeks later — and keeps the door balanced so your opener isn't fighting an uneven load.
Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles — roughly five to seven years for a busy family. High-cycle springs double or triple that for a modest upgrade cost. On a door you open six times a day, they pay for themselves.
"Spring snapped at 6am with my car trapped inside. TexPrime had a tech out before 8 and I was on the road by 8:40. Unreal service."
"Got three quotes for a new insulated door. TexPrime wasn't the cheapest — they were the clearest. Install was flawless and the door is whisper quiet."
"Opener died on a Sunday night. They answered, showed up, replaced it, and set up the app on my phone. Honest guys, fair price."

It depends on door size and cycle rating. We give a flat all-in quote on the phone or on arrival, before any work starts.
Standard springs last about 10,000 cycles — five to seven years for typical daily use. High-cycle springs last far longer.
We strongly recommend replacing both. The second spring is the same age and will usually fail within months.
