The Role of Garage Door Springs
Garage doors typically use one of two different types of springs: torsion springs and extension springs. Torsion springs are located above the door and provide lifting power by twisting. Extension springs are found on either side of the door and stretch/retract to help it open/close. Both types are under extreme tension – and dangerous to work with – so they’re best repaired or replaced by professionals.
We use a high cycle 10 gauge clip-end extension spring which eliminates the loop end failure point, ensuring greater longevity, reliability, and safety.
Our proprietary Precision green powder-coated torsion spring protects from rust and damage and can last up to five times longer than other springs.
What Determines Garage Door
Spring Replacement Cost?
While there’s no way to give an exact estimate without an in-person inspection, many factors can impact garage door spring replacement cost, including:
- Type of spring – There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion springs and extension springs. Torsion springs are typically more expensive due to their durability, strength, and ability to support heavier doors, but they also tend to last longer and provide smoother operation.
- The size and weight of your garage door – The size, weight, and style of your garage door help determine the type and number of springs you’ll need. Heavier doors, such as those made of solid wood, may require stronger, higher-tension springs.
- Labor and installation costs – Labor costs depend on the complexity of your garage door system and the time required for replacement. Professionals may also charge for any additional adjustments or tune-ups required to align the door properly. Hiring an experienced technician ensures the job is done right and prevents future problems.
- Your location – The area you live in can affect garage door spring replacement costs due to varying labor rates, local regulations, or demand for services.
How Long Springs Last
Garage door springs commonly last anywhere from five to fifteen years depending on how often they’re used. When springs need to be replaced, you’ll probably notice signs like:
- The door moving slower or unevenly – it could indicate the spring is losing tension
- Grinding or squeaking sounds that may indicate damage to the spring
- Visible gaps between coils, which could be a sign that a spring is overstretched and failing
- The door falling quickly or not staying open
You’ll likely hear a loud snap or banging sound if your garage door spring breaks while you’re home. It’s best to call Precision as soon as you notice an issue, as a damaged spring can cause other components to wear out prematurely.
