About broken springs

Short answer: Replacing a broken garage door spring costs about $200 to $330, parts and labor. Extension springs, along the tracks, sit at the low end. Torsion springs, on a bar above the door, sit at the high end and are under high tension, so leave them to a company. The spring alone is $80 to $200 for torsion and $20 to $70 for extension.

Where the springs are

Parts of a garage door, seen from inside the garage A 16 foot sectional door with four panels. Above it, torsion springs on a steel tube with a cable drum at each end. Lift cables run down each side to the bottom brackets. Rollers ride in vertical tracks. An opener on the ceiling pulls the door with an arm on the top panel. Two safety sensors sit near the floor on each side and send a beam across the opening. Openeron the ceiling Torsion springs Cable drum Lift cable Trackand rollers Emergency release Arm Panels (sections) Bottom bracket Safety sensors and their beam
Not to scale. The torsion springs carry most of the door's weight through the cables and drums. When a spring breaks, the door feels like it weighs hundreds of pounds and the opener can't lift it. Some doors use extension springs along the tracks instead. Since 1993, openers must reverse when they hit something, and most use the two sensors near the floor as the second safety device.

Signs of a broken spring

What not to do

Torsion or extension springs

Most newer doors use torsion springs: one or two coils on a steel bar above the door. They twist to lift the door. HomeBlue puts the part at $80 to $200. Older and lighter doors often use extension springs that stretch along the tracks on each side, at $20 to $70 for the part.

Why springs break

Springs wear out with use. DASMA lists what shortens their life: the wrong spring for the door, the wrong number of turns, a door that got heavier (paint, added parts), doors left open in extreme heat or cold, corrosion, and no lubrication. Many companies replace both springs at once on a two-spring door, since both have the same wear. Ask for the price both ways.

Questions

How much is a garage door spring replacement?

About $200 to $330, parts and labor, by HomeBlue's numbers. Torsion springs cost more than extension springs.

Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?

It is risky. The spring normally carries most of the door's weight. If you must, pull the emergency release and lift with help, but a company can usually come the same day or the next.

Should both springs be replaced?

On a door with two springs, the second one has the same wear as the one that broke. Many companies suggest replacing both. Ask for the price both ways.

Why did my spring break in winter?

Cold is hard on springs. DASMA lists extreme temperatures among the things that shorten spring life, along with corrosion and lack of lubrication.
