If you live in Clovis, CA and your garage door suddenly stopped working, a broken spring is the most likely cause. At Top Garage Doors Repair Fresno, we respond to spring failures throughout Clovis and the surrounding Fresno metro area — usually within 1-3 hours of your call.
Why Garage Door Springs Break in Clovis
Clovis experiences significant temperature swings between the hot Central Valley summers and cooler winter nights. These temperature fluctuations cause metal springs to expand and contract repeatedly, accelerating wear. Most standard springs are rated for 10,000 cycles — roughly 7-10 years of average use. When they fail, they usually fail without warning, leaving your door stuck.
Signs Your Spring Needs Replacement
- Loud bang from the garage (the spring snapped)
- Door opens only 6 inches then stops
- Door feels extremely heavy to lift manually
- Visible gap in the spring coil above the door
- Door hangs unevenly or tilts to one side
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Most modern homes in Clovis use torsion springs — the horizontal spring mounted above the door opening. These store more energy and provide smoother operation than older extension springs. When one torsion spring breaks, we strongly recommend replacing both at the same time. If one has snapped, the other is likely near the end of its life too.
Our Spring Replacement Process
Our technicians arrive fully stocked with springs in all standard sizes. We measure your door height and weight, select the correct spring specification, and complete the replacement in about 45-60 minutes. We also lubricate all moving parts, check the opener balance, and test the door multiple times before leaving.
