- Case Study · Bellaire,
TX
A Pearland homeowner needed more than a repair. Here’s
how technician Marcus replaced their aging garage door
start to finish, in a single visit.
A broken torsion spring on the garage door prompted a service call from J. Cannon in Bellaire. Alberto carefully removed the old, malfunctioning spring and installed a new premium torsion spring, then confirmed the door operated smoothly and safely before wrapping up. The job was completed the same visit, restoring full functionality to the garage door.
- The Problem
A torsion spring carries the full weight of the door every time it opens or closes, so when it fails, the door either won’t move or becomes dangerous to operate manually. J. Cannon’s spring had reached the point of failure, leaving the door unusable and unsafe until it was replaced with a properly rated new one.
- Final Outcome
By the time Alberto finished, J. Cannon’s garage door was back to full working order, safe, balanced, and operating the way it should. The repair was completed in a single visit with a new premium torsion spring built to hold up over time.
Customer review:
“Alberto did an amazing job replacing the springs on our garage door! Our garage door works flawlessly now thanks to him! He was on time, fast and he got the job done! He was also super knowledgeable as well and was able to answer all of my questions. We will be calling Easy Garage Door Repair and asking for Alberto should we ever need help with our garage door again!”

- FAQ
The most obvious sign is a garage door that won't open, even though the opener seems to be running. You may also notice a loud bang from the garage before the door stops working, that's usually the spring snapping. A visual check often confirms it: a broken torsion spring will show a clear gap in the coil, usually near the center of the shaft above the door.
No. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and hold the full weight of the door. Releasing or installing one without the right tools and training can cause serious injury. This is one repair where calling a professional isn't optional, it's a safety issue.
Most torsion spring replacements are completed in a single visit, usually within an hour once the technician is on site. J. Cannon's repair, including inspection, spring replacement, and testing, was finished the same visit.
A properly rated torsion spring typically lasts 15,000 to 20,000 cycles, one cycle being one full open and close. For an average household, that works out to roughly 7 to 10 years, depending on how often the door is used.
