Garage Door Garage Door Broken Spring Repair Fulton, MO
Fulton garage door broken spring repair runs through our shop constantly. Set in Missouri's humid subtropical region, these doors meet high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and we choose parts that outlast it.
What wears out a Fulton door isn't just use — it's the weather. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year drives high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and we plan for all of it.
When Fulton doors quit, it's usually rusted track hardware and seized rollers, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Our diagnostic isolates the true cause so the fix actually lasts.
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:
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Fulton: with hot and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, the common failure modes are rusted track hardware and seized rollers, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, corroded springs and cables in the humid air, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Our Fulton trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
In Fulton it is usually rusted track hardware and seized rollers — and because the area has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, we also see a lot of swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity.

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.
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.
Average response is 78 minutes in cities where we keep a local crew. Sub-60 minute response is common in dense coverage areas.
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.
