Fixed the Same Visit
Most repairs are done in one trip. If a part needs sourcing, we tell you that upfront instead of guessing.
What It Costs
We don't quote a number here because the springs on a Hernando door aren't the springs on an older Southaven door, and the price follows the hardware, not the town. Most houses in this pocket of the service area went up around 2001 - later than the 1993 median for the wider service area - which means garages built for two cars and a single 16-foot steel door rather than a pair of narrow 8-foot doors. That door usually runs two torsion springs on one shaft instead of one.
Two springs cost more than one, and a heavier steel door needs springs wound to a higher tension than the door on an older single-bay garage. What we can tell you without seeing the door: single-spring jobs on lighter doors run less than double-spring jobs on wide steel doors, and a spring that's rusted through the coils sometimes means the cable drums and bearing plate need a look too, which changes the bill. We give you the number after we've had the door open, not before.
Getting It Booked In
We run this from Southaven, about 7 miles from Hernando, so there's no local branch to call - a technician loads the truck and drives out for the appointment you set. We ask what the door looks like (single or double, steel or wood-look composite) and whether it's stuck shut or hanging crooked, because that tells us which springs to bring. Given the age of most Hernando stock, we usually bring torsion spring pairs sized for a 16-foot double door as the default, then adjust on site if the house turns out to have an older single-bay setup instead.
What the Repair Takes
On a double torsion setup - the more common find here given the 2001-median build year - both springs get replaced together even if only one has broken, because the other one is under the same years of cycling and close behind it. The tech winds the new springs to the tension that matches the door's weight, not a generic setting, since a 16-foot steel door and an 8-foot door don't take the same wind.
We check the cables, drums, and center bearing plate at the same time, since those parts wear on the same schedule as the springs and a spring job on a door with a worn cable is a job you're paying for twice. We don't do the repair with the door hanging on the old cable - that's the part where people get hurt, and it's the one thing we won't rush past.
How It Shows Up
A broken torsion spring on a wide double door doesn't creak first - it usually lets go with a loud bang, often when nobody's in the garage, and the door will not lift by hand afterward or will feel like dead weight when it tries. On a two-spring setup, sometimes only one side goes, and the door looks like it's trying to open crooked, lifting on one side before the other, because the remaining spring is doing all the work. Springs on newer, heavier steel doors like the kind common in Hernando's 2001-and-later stock also tend to fail closer together in age than they do on lighter single doors, since they're both under similar load from day one.
Stocked Parts
We keep common torsion spring sizes on the truck for the door types that show up most across the service area, and given how much of Hernando was built after 2000, that means we're set up for double-door torsion pairs more often than the single-spring extension setups you'd find on an older 1970s single-bay garage. If your house is one of the older ones mixed into this area, or the door's been swapped out for something nonstandard, we may need to order a spring sized to that specific door, which adds time before the fix instead of after it.
What Can Go Wrong
The honest limitation: if a spring has been broken for a while and the door's been forced open or closed on it, the cable can jump the drum groove, and sometimes the track's been bent from someone trying to muscle the door up by hand. That's not a spring-only job anymore, and we'll tell you that on site rather than quote a spring price and surprise you later. On the newer double doors common here, a bent track on one side is more noticeable because the door is wider and less forgiving of a slight misalignment than a narrow single door would be.

Why Hernando Calls Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Hernando garage door have two springs instead of one?
Most houses in this part of the service area were built around 2001, later than the area's overall median, which tends to mean wider double-car garages with a single 16-foot steel door. Doors that size are usually run on two torsion springs on one shaft rather than the single spring you'd find on an older, narrower door.
Do you have a shop in Hernando?
No. We work out of Southaven, about 7 miles away, and a technician drives out for the appointment. There's no local branch here, just a scheduled visit from the Southaven crew.
Can you fix just the one spring that broke and leave the other?
On a double-torsion setup we replace both together even if only one snapped, since the other has the same age and cycle count and is close behind it. Replacing one and leaving a worn match on the other side just means a second call soon after.
How do I know if it's the spring and not something else?
A broken spring usually announces itself with a loud bang and a door that won't lift by hand or feels like dead weight. If the door instead opens crooked, rising on one side before the other, that can mean one spring failed on a two-spring door while the other is still holding.
