The Number, Before Anything Else
Your door will not lift, you heard a bang like a gunshot earlier, and you are not looking for an essay. A pair of torsion springs on a standard double door in Phoenix is $180 to $290 installed, and the $35 service call comes off that total when we do the work.
The rest of this page explains what moves that figure, so you can tell a fair quote from a bait one before anybody is in your driveway.
What Moves The Price Up Or Down
- One spring or two. Most double doors use a pair. Many single doors use one, which lands at the bottom of the range.
- Cycle rating. Standard springs are rated about 10,000 cycles. Oil-tempered high-cycle springs rated near 25,000 cost more upfront and last roughly twice as long.
- Door weight. An insulated or solid-wood door needs heavier springs than a single-skin steel one of the same size.
- Track type. High-lift and oversized openings use different drums and longer shafts.
- What else is worn. Frayed cables, scored drums or dry end bearings are worth doing while the tension is already off, rather than paying for a second visit in six months.
Why We Fit Both Springs
On a two-spring door, the one that has not broken yet is not the healthy one. It is the same age and it has taken the same number of cycles, so it is usually only a few months behind.
Replacing a single spring also leaves the door unbalanced. It lifts crooked, drags on one side of the track, and puts the whole load on an opener that was never designed to carry a door. The second spring fitted during the same visit is cheap. A second call-out is not.
The Forty-Nine Dollar Price That Is Not A Price
Low headline numbers in this trade almost always mean the visit, not the repair. The quote arrives after the technician is standing in your garage and the door is already apart, which is the worst possible moment to start comparing companies.
Two questions keep a number honest. Does that figure include both springs, parts and labour? And is anything else likely to be added once you see the door? Ours is a range rather than one number precisely because the honest answer depends on the door, and we would rather narrow it on the phone than widen it later.
What The Visit Actually Involves
Winding torsion springs is the part of this trade that sends people to hospital, which is why it is worth paying someone who does it daily. The job is: release what tension remains safely, swap the springs, wind them to the manufacturer tension for your door weight, check cables and drums for wear, run a balance test by hand at waist height, lubricate, then reset the opener travel and force so it is not fighting the new springs.
You get a written invoice with the parts, the cycle rating and the warranty on it. Licence AZ ROC338265, bonded and insured, 5.0 stars from 49 Google reviews, working Phoenix since 2012.
Answers
Spring Pricing Questions We Hear Every Week
How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Phoenix?
A pair of torsion springs on a standard double door runs $180 to $290 installed by Above All Garage Door Service, (480) 405-0909. That is parts, labour, rebalancing the door and resetting the opener force. The $35 service call is credited against the job, so it is not an extra line on top.
Should I replace one spring or both?
Both, on a two-spring door. They were fitted the same day and have taken the same number of cycles, so the survivor is usually weeks or months behind the one that broke. Fitting the second spring during the same visit costs a fraction of what a separate call-out costs later, and it leaves the door balanced instead of pulling to one side.
How long does a spring replacement take?
Sixty to ninety minutes for a standard double door, including winding the new springs to the right tension, checking cables and drums, running a balance test and resetting the opener travel and force. Oversized doors, high-lift track and jobs where the cables have jumped the drums take longer.
Is a 16-foot double door or a high-lift setup more expensive?
Sometimes. Wider and heavier doors need longer or heavier-gauge springs, and high-lift track uses different drums, so those jobs sit at the upper end of the range or just above it. We would rather tell you that on the phone than surprise you in the driveway, so describe the door when you call and you will get a realistic number.
How long do new springs last in a Phoenix garage?
Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles, which is roughly seven years for a family opening the door four times a day, and closer to three or four years on a busy door that is also the main entrance to the house. Oil-tempered high-cycle springs are rated near 25,000 cycles and are worth the upgrade on a door that gets heavy daily use.
