Garage door spring replacement is the most common garage door repair. Torsion springs (mounted above the door) typically last 10,000-15,000 cycles (7-10 years of normal use). When a spring breaks, the door becomes extremely heavy and dangerous to operate manually. We always replace springs in matched pairs — even if only one has broken — to ensure balanced door operation and prevent the remaining spring from breaking shortly after. Extension spring systems (on older doors) are upgraded to the safer torsion spring configuration when possible. Spring replacement is a high-tension, high-risk repair that should always be performed by a trained technician.

Garage door torsion springs must be contained by the torsion bar to prevent the spring from flying off if it breaks. Safety cables are required on extension spring systems. All spring work should comply with DASMA (Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association) guidelines.

Cronograma del Proyecto

Safety & Inspection

10-15 min

Secure the door in the down position, clamp locking pliers on the track to prevent movement, and inspect the torsion bar, drums, cables, and end bearings for additional wear.

Old Spring Removal

15-20 min

Using winding bars, carefully unwind the remaining tension from the unbroken spring. Disconnect both springs from the torsion bar, remove the cables from the drums, and slide the old springs off the bar.

New Spring Installation

20-30 min

Slide new matched springs onto the torsion bar, install new end bearing plates if needed, thread lift cables onto the drums, and hand-tighten all set screws.

Winding & Calibration

15-20 min

Wind each spring to the calculated number of quarter-turns based on door weight and height. Test door balance by disconnecting the opener and lifting the door halfway — a properly balanced door stays in place. Reconnect the opener and test auto-reverse.

Garage Door Spring Replacement en Richmond — Preguntas Frecuentes

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?+

Signs include: the door won't open or is extremely heavy to lift, you hear a loud bang from the garage (the spring snapping), you see a visible gap in the torsion spring coil, or the opener strains and stops before the door fully opens.

Why do you replace both springs even if only one broke?+

Both springs are the same age and have the same number of cycles. If one broke, the other is near the end of its life too. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and avoids a second service call within weeks or months.

How much does spring replacement cost?+

Torsion spring replacement (pair) costs $200-$400 in the Sacramento area including parts and labor. Extension-to-torsion conversion adds $100-$200. We always recommend high-cycle springs for better longevity.

Can I replace garage door springs myself?+

No. Torsion springs are under extreme tension (hundreds of foot-pounds) and can cause serious injury or death if improperly handled. This is one repair that should always be done by a trained, experienced technician with proper winding bars.

How long do garage door springs last?+

Standard springs last 10,000 cycles (about 7-10 years). High-cycle springs rated at 25,000-50,000 cycles last 15-25 years. We install high-cycle springs by default for better value.
