Spring Repair & Replacement
Torsion and extension spring systems
Garage door springs are under significant tension and are among the most safety-critical components of your door system. A broken spring typically means the door cannot be safely operated. Our technicians assess, advise, and replace where necessary — using appropriately rated springs matched to your door weight and cycle requirements.

Common Questions
Spring Repair & Replacement: what homeowners ask
How much does garage door spring replacement cost?
Entrancio spring replacement starts at $300 installed for a matched pair of high-cycle torsion springs on a non-insulated door. Medium-duty springs are $500 installed and heavy-duty springs for insulated, glass and wood doors are around $700 installed. The price includes the springs and the technician's labor, and is confirmed upfront before work begins.
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The most common signs are a loud bang from the garage, a visible gap of one to two inches in the torsion spring above the door, a door that feels extremely heavy to lift by hand, a door that only rises a few inches before stopping, or an opener that strains and reverses. If you see any of these, stop using the door and call for same-day service.
Should I replace both garage door springs if only one broke?
Yes, on a two-spring door we recommend replacing both. Springs wear at the same rate, so the second spring is usually near the end of its life and will fail soon after. Replacing the pair keeps the door balanced and avoids a second service call.
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles — roughly 7–10 years at four openings a day. Entrancio installs high-cycle springs rated well above standard, which last significantly longer before the next replacement.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and improper handling causes serious injuries every year. Replacement requires winding bars, correct spring sizing for the door weight, and re-balancing. An Entrancio technician completes it safely in one to two hours.
