What Changes the Price
No two garage doors are exactly alike, so spring replacement prices vary. These are the things that make the biggest difference:
- One spring or two. Many double doors use two springs. If both are the same age, the second one has seen the same wear as the one that broke.
- Torsion or extension springs. Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door. Extension springs run along the tracks on each side. They use different parts and setup.
- Door size and weight. A heavier door, like a double, insulated or wood door, needs stronger springs.
- Spring quality. Higher-cycle springs are built to last through more openings and closings.
- Other worn parts. Cables, drums, rollers and bearings sometimes need replacing at the same time.
- After-hours service. An emergency call outside regular hours can affect the price.
Should Both Springs Be Replaced?
If your door has two springs and only one broke, the other one is the same age and has done the same work. It may not last much longer. We’ll check its condition, tell you honestly what we see, and let you decide. Replacing both at once can save you a second service call later.
How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?
Standard garage door springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles. A family that uses the garage door several times a day can reach that in well under ten years. Springs also break sooner when a door is out of balance or the springs were the wrong size for the door to begin with.
Why Spring Replacement Isn’t a DIY Job
Garage door springs hold enough tension to lift a door that can weigh a couple hundred pounds or more. Releasing or winding that tension without the right tools and training can cause serious injury. If you hear a loud bang and your door won’t open, leave it closed, don’t run the opener, and give us a call.
