Garage Door Spring Repair in Greenwood Village, CO For Homes: Torsion & Extension Spring Replacement

Spring repair costs depend on the type of spring, the number of springs that need replacement, and whether your system requires additional adjustments. A single torsion spring replacement is typically the most affordable option, while dual spring systems or commercial-grade high-cycle springs cost more. At Select Garage Doors, we provide a free estimate and upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what the repair will cost with no surprises.

Most residential spring repairs are completed in about one to two hours. Our technicians arrive with common spring sizes on the truck, which eliminates wait time for parts in most cases. After replacing the spring, we balance the door, test the opener, and verify that all safety features are working properly before we leave.

You should avoid using your garage door if a spring is broken. Without a functioning spring, the full weight of the door rests on the opener, which can burn out the motor or strip the gears. Lifting the door manually is also dangerous since residential doors weigh between 150 and 250 pounds. If your spring has broken, disconnect the opener and call a professional.

The most obvious sign is a loud bang from the garage, like a firecracker or gunshot, followed by the door refusing to open. You may also notice a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door, the door feeling extremely heavy when lifted manually, or the door opening crookedly. Any of these signs point to a spring failure and require professional attention.

Standard torsion springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles, which translates to roughly 7 to 10 years of average residential use. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles last much longer and are a worthwhile upgrade for homeowners who use their garage door multiple times a day. Annual maintenance inspections help identify springs that are nearing the end of their lifespan before they break unexpectedly.

We strongly recommend replacing both springs at the same time if your door uses a two-spring system. When one spring breaks, the other has endured the same number of cycles and is likely close to failure. Replacing both springs at once saves you from a second service call, a second disruption, and additional labor costs down the road. It also keeps the door balanced and operating smoothly.

Torsion springs mount on a metal shaft above the garage door opening and twist to store energy. They provide smoother, more controlled door movement and typically last longer than extension springs. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door and stretch to create lifting force. Torsion springs are the preferred system for most modern garage doors due to their durability and safety advantages.
