Looking For a Service Expert Nearest To You?

Garage door springs play a crucial role in the operation of your garage door. They counterbalance the weight of the door, making it easy to open and close. However, these springs can wear out over time, requiring replacement. At Tomys Garage Door, we specialize in garage door spring replacement services, ensuring your garage door functions smoothly and safely.

Why Replace Garage Door Springs?

Garage door springs undergo significant tension and stress every time the door operates. Over time, this stress can cause the springs to weaken or break, posing a safety hazard and hindering the door’s operation. Here are some key reasons to replace your garage door springs:

Safety: A broken spring can cause the door to fall unexpectedly, potentially injuring someone or damaging property.
Efficiency: New springs ensure your garage door operates smoothly and efficiently, reducing strain on the opener.
Longevity: Regular replacement and maintenance of springs can extend the overall lifespan of your garage door system.

Main Service Areas

Types of Garage Door Springs

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening. These springs twist to store mechanical energy as the door operates. They are more durable and provide better balance for the door. Torsion springs are generally safer and more efficient but cost more to replace.

Lifespan: 10,000 to 20,000 cycles (7 to 14 years)
Cost: $60 to $200 per spring (installation included: $200 to $350)

Extension Springs

Extension springs are installed parallel to the horizontal tracks of the garage door. These springs stretch and contract to counterbalance the door. They are less expensive but require more maintenance and have a shorter lifespan compared to torsion springs.

Lifespan: 5,000 to 15,000 cycles (4 to 10 years)
Cost: $20 to $50 per spring (installation included: $150 to $200)

Factors Influencing Replacement Costs

Several factors can influence the cost of replacing garage door springs, including:

Type of Spring: Torsion springs are more expensive than extension springs.
Type of Door: Roll-up doors often require more complex spring systems, increasing the cost.
Number of Springs: Most garage doors have two springs that should be replaced simultaneously to maintain balance.
Additional Repairs: Sometimes, additional parts like cables or tracks may need replacement, affecting the overall cost.
