Do You Even Need A Spring Replacement Service?
Warnings You Need To Replace Your Garage Door Springs
- Loud Noises
If your garage door makes loud banging or squeaking noises when opening or closing, it often points to worn-out springs. These noises happen because the springs are struggling to handle the door’s weight properly.
- Uneven Door Movement
When one side of your garage door rises faster than the other, it’s a clear sign a spring has weakened or broken. This uneven movement not only stresses the opener but can also cause the door to get stuck or off track.
- Door Feels Heavy
If your garage door suddenly feels unusually heavy or difficult to lift manually, the springs are likely failing. Healthy springs counterbalance the door’s weight, so heaviness means they’ve lost their tension.
- Visible Spring Damage
Coils that appear stretched, rusty, or broken are a visual warning that replacement is needed. Ignoring visible damage can lead to complete spring failure, making your garage door unsafe to use.
What Types Of Garage Door Springs Are There?
Types Of Torsion Springs For Garage Doors
- Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are the most common type, mounted above the garage door on a metal shaft. They use torque to evenly lift and lower the door, providing smooth and reliable operation for most residential garage doors.
- Extension Springs
Extension springs are installed on either side of the door and stretch when the door is lowered. They are often found in older garage door systems and are generally less durable and safe compared to torsion springs.
- TorqueMaster Springs
TorqueMaster springs are an enclosed system designed by Wayne Dalton, hidden inside a metal tube. This design provides a cleaner look and added safety but typically requires professional service for adjustments or replacement.
- Roll-Up Door Springs
Roll-up door springs also knows as heavy-duty springs are used for commercial or industrial garage doors. They can also be used for heavy residential garage doors such as wood made. They are built to handle frequent use and heavier doors, ensuring durability.
How Much Does A Garage Door Spring Near You Cost?
If you’re wondering “how much does a garage door spring cost?” the short answer is: it depends a little on the type of spring and the size of your door. On average, the spring itself usually costs between $75–$150 each, but most garage doors need two springs replaced at the same time. On top of that, you’ll want to factor in the service fee and labor, which can run anywhere from $150–$250, since the installation requires special tools and expertise. The important thing is that you do not intend to replace the spring yourself.
Springs are extremely dangerous because of the stored kinetic energy inside of them. You can get seriously hurt and it is always recommended to hire a company such as Carlos Garage Door Repair to replace your spring.

FAQs
Spring Related Common Questions & Answers
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
A broken spring usually makes your garage door super heavy to lift, or it may not open at all. You might also hear a loud snap or see a visible gap in the spring coil — if you notice this, it’s time to call a professional for repair.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
Technically, yes — but it’s very dangerous and not recommended. Garage door springs are under extreme tension, and one wrong move can cause serious injury, so it’s much safer (and often cheaper long-term) to let a trained technician handle it.
How long do garage door springs last?
Most garage door springs last about 7–10 yearso 10,000 cycles (a cycle is one open and close). If you use your garage door daily as your main entrance, the springs may wear out sooner. But Carlos’ springs last even longer closer to 20+ years with proper maintenance.
Should I replace both garage door springs at the same time?
Yes, it’s highly recommended to replace both springs together, even if only one is broken. This keeps your garage door balanced, prevents future breakdowns, and saves money by avoiding a second service call.
