Spring Replacement in St. Louis

Same-day torsion and extension spring replacement.

Garage door springs do all the heavy lifting — and they're the #1 thing that fails. When they snap, your door is dead weight (often 150–400 lbs). We replace torsion and extension springs the same day, using high-cycle springs rated for 2–3x the lifespan of builder-grade parts.

Common Causes

  • Normal wear after 7,000–10,000 cycles
  • Rust from Missouri humidity
  • Improperly sized spring from prior installer
  • Sudden temperature swings (common in St. Louis winters)
Typical Cost

Single torsion spring: $200–$300. Dual spring replacement (recommended): $300–$450. Extension springs: $180–$280. High-cycle upgrade adds $50–$100 but doubles lifespan.

How Long It Takes

Most spring replacements take 60–90 minutes from arrival to test.

Warning Signs

Loud bang from the garage (the spring snapping)
Visible 2–4 inch gap in the spring coil
Door won't open or feels extremely heavy
Opener strains, hums, or only lifts a few inches

Frequently Asked Questions
