Garage Door Spring Repair
In Alexander, AR
We replaced springs on 25 of our 47 Alexander jobs in the last 12 months. Most were exactly what they looked like: a worn-out spring on an otherwise healthy door. That makes the spring you choose the biggest decision on the call.
Alexander Spring Jobs, By The Numbers
That’s the highest share of straight spring swaps of any town where we did 10 or more spring jobs last year. On the rest, cables, rollers and bearings each came up on roughly 1 in 5 spring jobs.
Live counts come from completed, invoiced jobs at Alexander addresses and refresh nightly. Breakdowns cover the 12 months through October 2026.
Quick Answer: Spring Repair In Alexander
Call (501) 244-3667 and leave the door where it is. We come down I-30 from our Little Rock shop, check the springs, cables, drums and bearings, and give you a flat-rate price before any work starts. Same phone number on both sides of the Saline–Pulaski county line.
Our standard spring is the 30,000-cycle Ultra-Cycle torsion spring, rated for three times the cycles of the builder-grade spring most new-construction doors come with, and covered by our 3-year parts warranty. If you’d rather pay less today, we stock a lower-priced 10,000-cycle spring and will quote both. A trip charge applies to every service call.

First Broken Spring In A Newer House?
If your house still has the door the builder put in, it most likely came with builder-grade springs rated for about 10,000 cycles. One cycle is one open and one close. At four cycles a day that’s roughly seven years, and a house where the garage is the main way in can get there a lot sooner.
That’s why the first spring break in a subdivision house tends to arrive with no warning, on a door that otherwise works fine. And on a two-spring door, the second spring has done exactly the same number of cycles, so we recommend replacing the pair.
When the door itself is healthy, the choice comes down to the spring:
| 10,000-cycle spring | 30,000-cycle Ultra-Cycle | |
|---|---|---|
| Rated life | Same as a typical builder spring | Three times the cycles |
| At about 4 cycles a day | Roughly 7 years | Roughly 20 years |
| Up-front price | Lower | Higher |
| Warranty | Ask when we quote | 3-year parts |
Rated cycles are a fatigue rating, not a promise; heat, rust and a door out of balance all shorten them. Our spring cost guide covers what goes into the price.
When It’s More Than The Spring
- Spring Replacement. The right call on most Alexander doors: new springs wound to the door’s weight, a balance test and an opener reset.
- Spring Package. Springs plus new drums, with the end bearings checked and replaced if worn, for doors where a cable slipped or the drums are worn.
- Premium Rebuild. Standard springs plus drums, cables, end bearings, center bearing and a full set of nylon rollers, backed by a 5-year warranty.
- Elite Rebuild. The full rebuild with Ultra-Cycle springs, backed by a 10-year warranty.
Every option is flat-rate and quoted before we start. See what each includes.
Alexander Spring Repair Questions
Yes. Alexander straddles the county line, and it’s the same phone number, the same trucks and the same pricing on both sides.
Most new-construction doors come with builder-grade springs rated for about 10,000 cycles, which is roughly seven years at four opens and closes a day, and less in a busy household. It’s normal wear, not a defect.
On a two-spring door, yes in most cases. Both springs have done the same number of cycles, so the second one is usually close behind, and a matched pair keeps the door balanced.
We dispatch the same day whenever the schedule allows, and Alexander is a short run down I-30 from our Little Rock shop. Tell us if a car is trapped or the door is stuck open.
If you plan to stay in the house, usually yes: it’s rated for three times the cycles of a builder-grade spring. If you’re selling soon, the 10,000-cycle spring may make more sense. We quote both.
Yes. We also work in Bryant, Benton, Shannon Hills and the rest of Saline County.
