The springs do the lifting, not the opener. A double door weighs 150 to 400 pounds and the torsion spring above the header counterbalances almost all of it. When a spring breaks in Selma, the opener suddenly has to lift the full weight, which it cannot, so the door either will not move or moves a few inches and stops.
You can usually confirm it yourself from a safe distance: look for a visible gap in the coil above the door, a loud bang shortly before it failed, or a door that feels impossibly heavy on the manual release. Do not try to lift it and do not keep pressing the opener button.
We replace torsion and extension springs in matched pairs and size them to the door weight and cycle life you actually need. High-cycle springs cost a little more and last roughly twice as long, which is worth it on a door used four or more times a day.
Call (877) 230-8949 and describe what the door is doing. Most Selma jobs of this type are quoted accurately over the phone and finished on the first visit.

Most repairs in Selma land between $120 and $380 depending on the part. Spring replacement is the most common single job we do, opener boards and full opener swaps are the next most common.
Describe the noise or the symptom. Most doors can be narrowed down to a spring, cable, opener or track problem over the phone.
You get a flat number for the repair, including parts and labour, before a tool comes out of the truck.
Springs, cables, rollers, sensors and common opener parts are on the van, so most jobs finish the same trip.
We cycle the door, set the opener force and travel, test the safety reverse and clean up before leaving.
★★★★★Spring snapped Sunday night and my truck was locked in. Someone answered at 11pm, was out by 7am and had both springs on before I left for work.
Marcus D.Selma, AL · Spring replacement
★★★★★Cable came off the drum and the door was hanging sideways. They told me not to touch it, showed up the same afternoon, had it back on track and balanced.
Sondra L.Selma, AL · Cable and off-track
★★★★★The door had a gap on one side and the wind whistled through it all winter. Fixed the track and replaced the bottom seal.

Openers that hum, reverse, click once, or ignore the remote entirely.
Snapped cables, doors hanging off the track, drums that unwound.
A door stuck open at midnight is a security problem. We answer 24/7.
Trucks run out of the Selma area daily and cover the surrounding AL towns. If you are just outside the map, call (877) 230-8949 and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you today.
Most Selma calls booked before mid-afternoon get a same-day slot, and anything urgent, a door stuck open or a car trapped inside, moves to the front of the list. The phone line is answered 24 hours.
Common repairs run roughly $120 to $380. Spring replacement usually falls in the $180 to $420 range for a matched pair. You get a flat number before any work starts, not an estimate that grows.
We can, but we do not recommend it. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one has gone the other is close behind. Replacing the pair costs less than paying for a second call-out in a few months.
Nine times out of ten it is the safety sensors near the floor: knocked out of alignment, dirty lenses or a loose wire. It can also be the down-force setting or something in the track. Both are quick fixes.
Yes. Rolling steel shutters, sectional overhead doors, high-cycle spring systems and jackshaft openers for shops, warehouses and fleet yards, including after-hours visits so you do not lose trading time.
Tell us what the door is doing and we will tell you what it costs. Same-day slots most days, emergency calls answered 24 hours.
