Torsion springs do the lifting, and most are rated for about 10,000 cycles, which works out to seven to ten years. When one breaks you hear a bang from the garage and the opener strains or gives up. Please do not try to lift the door by hand or keep pressing the button; a door with a broken spring can weigh 200 pounds.
Replacing a single spring starts at $265. On two-spring doors we recommend replacing both at $385, since the second one is the same age and usually fails soon after. Every spring job includes new cables where worn, a lube of all moving parts and a balance test.
What is included
- Single spring from $265, pair $385
- High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 cycles available
- Door balanced and safety-tested
- 3-year parts and labor warranty
Questions about garage door spring replacement
Can I replace a torsion spring myself?
We advise against it. Torsion springs hold enough tension to cause serious injury, and the winding bars and technique take training.
My car is stuck inside. Can you come today?
Most calls before 2pm get a same-day visit. Call (555) 010-6655 and we will give you an arrival window.
