Garage Door Garage Door Broken Spring Repair Clovis, CA
When you book garage door broken spring repair in Clovis, you get a tech who knows Fresno County — Fresno County lies at the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, among the most productive agricultural regions on earth. We serve Old Town, Tarpey Village, Harlan Ranch and Buchanan and nearby Fresno, Sanger, Fowler, and Parlier every day.
Set in California's Mediterranean climate region, Clovis has a temperate dry-summer climate — sunny, low-humidity afternoons and a short, mild rainy season. The practical result is sustained year-round sunshine that fades and embrittles panel finishes, dry-season dust that works into open tracks, and long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping, which is exactly what our parts selection targets.
If your Clovis door is acting up, it's often frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors, dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV, drifting travel limits on aging chain-drive openers, and worn nylon rollers on doors cycled several times a day. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
A broken garage door spring is one of the most common — and most disruptive — failures on a residential garage door. The failure itself is typically sudden: a loud bang from the garage, often mistaken for a gunshot or a transformer blowing. After the bang, the door becomes nearly impossible to lift by hand and the opener strains and refuses to move it. Cars get trapped inside, household routines disrupt, and the homeowner needs immediate service. Our broken-spring response averages under 90 minutes from call to on-site nationwide.
Every broken-spring visit follows the same protocol. Diagnose the failure (which spring, extent of any collateral damage), present a flat-rate quote (standard spring vs. 30,000-cycle upgrade), replace the spring(s), inspect cables and drums for accelerated wear (cables often need replacement alongside springs after a long service life), recalibrate door balance, and re-program the opener's travel and force limits to match the new spring tension. Most visits complete in 60–90 minutes.
We strongly recommend replacing both springs on dual-spring doors. The unbroken second spring is statistically days or weeks from failing — it has the same cycle history as the broken one. Replacing both costs less than two separate dispatches and properly re-balances the system.
Snapped torsion spring makes a distinct crack that sounds like a gunshot. Inspect for a 2-inch gap between coils on the spring above the door.
Door won't open with the remote
Modern openers refuse to lift the door without spring assistance. Failure to lift is a strong indicator of spring failure.
Door hard or impossible to lift by hand
Disconnect the opener and try lifting. A door with a broken spring is roughly 1.5–2× as heavy to lift, often impossible solo.
Visible coil gap or hanging spring fragment
Walk into the garage and look at the spring shaft above the door. A gap between coils or visibly broken section confirms spring failure.
Opener motor strains, door barely moves
If the opener tries and the door inches up but fails to fully open, the spring has either snapped or lost critical tension.
Common causes & what we fix
Cycle fatigue end-of-life
Builder-grade springs hit their cycle rating around 7–10 years of typical use. Failure is sudden but predictable on a curve.
Single-spring on heavy door
Single-spring installs on doors that should have dual springs see faster fatigue. Common in older builder installs.
Coastal corrosion
Salt-air pitting weakens uncoated springs. Coastal homes can see springs fail at 60% of cycle rating.
Missing maintenance
Dry, un-lubricated springs fatigue faster. Annual lubrication during a tune-up materially extends life.
Cold weather brittleness
Cold mornings can be the trigger for a fatigued spring to snap. The failure was coming anyway; cold tipped it over.

Frequently asked about garage door broken spring repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Broken Spring Repair near me ask us:
Clovis runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1994), roughly 30% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.
The call we get most in Clovis is frayed lift cables on aging sectional doors. Clovis has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, so dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
Yes if your door has dual springs. The unbroken spring has the same cycle history and is days to weeks from failing. Replacing both costs less than two separate visits and properly re-balances the door.
Worth it for most households. A modest amount more than standard, 3× the lifespan, and we back it for the life of the original homeowner.
Quoted flat-rate per spring by size and standard vs. high-cycle. Cable replacement, when needed, is added to the written quote. Dual-spring replacement with cables is quoted as one flat price.
We strongly discourage it. The door is heavy and unbalanced — lifting it manually risks injury. If you must (e.g., to remove a car), get two people, lift slowly, and prop securely. Wait for repair if at all possible.
