Expert torsion and extension spring replacement
When a garage door spring snaps in Katy, the door turns into a 150-to-300-pound dead weight. The opener can't lift it, the cables go slack, and the door is effectively locked shut. Lemus Garage Door Services has spent 15+ years replacing springs for homeowners across Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, and Firethorne — and our trucks stay stocked with the torsion and extension sizes used in homes near the I-10 Energy Corridor and Grand Pkwy 99.
Spring repair is safe and quick with the right tools, and hazardous without them. Our technicians use winding bars rated to the spring's tension, replace springs in matched pairs, and balance-test the door before leaving. You get a posted price before any work begins, a credited $49 service call, and a workmanship warranty on every job. Call (281) 906-4783 for same-day service.
Never try to open or repair a door with a broken spring. Torsion springs hold 200–400 lbs of tension and can cause serious injury. Call a Licensed & Insured pro at (281) 906-4783.
Most Katy homeowners never think about their garage door springs until the door won't move. Spotting the warning signs early turns an emergency into a scheduled visit.
A torsion spring failing sounds like a firecracker or heavy gunshot, often heard from inside the house. If the door worked yesterday and won't open today after a bang, a broken spring is almost certainly why.
A balanced door lifts with roughly 10 pounds of effort. Disconnect the opener — if the door feels like dead weight or slams back down, the springs are no longer carrying the load.
Check the spring on the bar above the door. A two-to-three-inch gap where the coils have separated is a confirmed break. Do not operate the door.
Many openers in Cinco Ranch and Seven Meadows have a force sensor. When a spring breaks the opener strains, hits its limit, and reverses — leaving the door cracked open.
If the motor hums while the door sits still, the opener has lost the mechanical assist the springs provide. Running it like this can burn out the motor.
Every spring call in Katy follows the same careful sequence, refined over 1,000+ satisfied customers so nothing gets missed.
We measure the wire size, inside diameter, and length of your existing spring, weigh the door, and inspect the cables, drums, and bearings. A wrong-size spring fails fast — exact measurement is the difference between a long-lasting spring and a short-lived one.
You get the complete price — parts and labor — before we pick up a tool. No surprises, no pressure. The $49 service call is credited toward the repair.
We unwind the old springs with properly rated winding bars, install the matched new pair, and re-tension to the manufacturer's spec for your door's exact weight.
We disconnect the opener and lift the door by hand to confirm it holds at waist height — the test for a correctly balanced door — then lubricate the springs, rollers, and hinges.
We run the door through several full open-and-close cycles, confirm the opener force settings and safety reverse, and walk you through the work.
Mounted on a bar above the door — the standard on most newer Katy homes in Cinco Ranch and Seven Meadows. We replace single and double-spring setups.
Run along the horizontal tracks — common on older homes near Katy Mills Mall. We replace them or upgrade you to a safer torsion system.
Rated for 25,000+ cycles — a smart upgrade for busy Firethorne households that cycle the door many times a day.
Lemus uses honest, posted ranges — never a single fake "from" price. In Katy, torsion spring replacement runs $150–$250 per pair installed and extension springs run $100–$150 per pair, including parts, labor, and the balance test. The $49 service call is credited toward the repair.
Door weight and size, the wire gauge and cycle rating of the spring, single versus double-spring setup, and whether cables or bearings also need attention all move the number within that range. A heavy insulated double-car door costs more to spring than a light single-car door.
We quote and replace both springs as a pair. Replacing only the broken one leaves a mismatched, unbalanced door and almost always means a second service call within months — the pair price saves Katy homeowners money over the life of the door.
For larger jobs that combine spring, cable, and opener work, ask about payment options when you call. A correctly sized pair of springs and a balanced door also protect your opener from premature burnout — a far bigger expense.

That means winding bars rated for the tension instead of screwdrivers, springs measured and matched to your exact door instead of "close enough," prices posted before the work, and a balance test on every single repair. We don't leave a Cinco Ranch or Cross Creek Ranch driveway until the door lifts clean by hand and cycles smoothly under the opener. Call (281) 906-4783 and you reach a real local team, not a call center.

A broken spring rarely happens at a convenient time. When your door is stuck shut and your car is trapped inside before work in Cinco Ranch and Seven Meadows, you need a real same-day option. Most spring calls placed earlier in the day are completed the same afternoon, because our trucks already carry the standard Katy-area spring sizes.
If you have a broken spring, don't force the door and don't run the opener — both can cause injury or damage. Disconnect the opener, leave the door down, and call (281) 906-4783. We'll give you a same-day window and a posted price before we arrive. For other urgent issues, see our emergency garage door service page.
In Katy, torsion spring replacement runs $150–$250 per pair installed, and extension springs run $100–$150 per pair, including parts, labor, and a balance test. Lemus publishes the price before any work begins, and the $49 service call is credited toward the repair. Most spring jobs in Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, and Firethorne are completed in 45–60 minutes.
Watch for a loud bang from the garage, a door that won't open or feels like dead weight by hand, a door that rises 6–12 inches then reverses, an opener motor that runs without moving the door, or a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door. If you see any of these in your Katy home, stop operating the door and call (281) 906-4783 right away.
Yes. Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, and Grand Lakes are all on our daily Katy route near the I-10 Energy Corridor and Grand Pkwy 99. Because our trucks carry the standard Katy-spec spring wire sizes and lengths, most calls placed earlier in the day are finished the same afternoon.
Always both. Springs are a matched pair and wear at the same rate, so when one breaks in a Firethorne or Grand Lakes home, the other is usually close behind. Replacing only one leaves the door unbalanced, strains the opener, and risks a second emergency call. Replacing the pair is safer and cheaper over time.
We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs hold 200–400 pounds of wound tension; the wrong winding bars or winding direction can cause severe injury. Professional replacement costs far less than an ER visit, and Lemus is Licensed & Insured for this exact work.
Standard springs last about 7–10 years or 10,000–15,000 cycles, where one cycle is a single open and close. Katy's humidity speeds rust on uncoated springs, so doors used several times a day in Cinco Ranch or Cross Creek Ranch often fall at the lower end. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles last considerably longer.
Most newer Katy homes in Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, and Seven Meadows use torsion springs in standard wire gauges and 25–32 inch lengths. Older homes near Katy Mills Mall sometimes still run extension springs. Lemus carries both and can convert an extension-spring door to a safer torsion system.
Yes. Every spring replacement Lemus performs in Katy is backed by our workmanship warranty, and high-cycle springs carry an extended parts warranty. With a 4.9-star rating across 248+ reviews and 15+ years serving Katy, we stand behind the balance and safety of every door we service.
