AfterHow Much Does Spring Replacement Cost in Lakewood?
Spring replacement in Lakewood typically runs $180 – $340 for one spring, and most homes we open up need both springs changed at the same time, which puts a matched pair at roughly double that. The written estimate you get before any work begins is the price that stands. We answer 24/7 at (866) 596-9807 and dispatch technicians from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday, closed Saturday.
If your door came down hard or you heard a loud snap and the door won’t lift, that’s the classic broken-torsion-spring symptom. It’s also the one repair you shouldn’t try to muscle through yourself: the torsion spring stores enough force to break a hand or worse, and the cables it drives can whip if released under load. Leave it to a trained technician.
Key Takeaways
- One spring: $180 – $340. A matched pair, which is how most jobs go: about twice that, since we replace both together.
- Price depends on spring type (torsion vs. extension), door weight, and whether cables or drums need attention at the same time.
- Most spring jobs are back in service the same day.
- Free estimates, upfront pricing, and the written estimate sets the final number.
- We work across eight brands – LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor – so the springs and hardware match your existing door.
Spring Replacement Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s how the numbers typically shake out in the Lakewood market. Treat every range as an estimate; the written quote sets the final price.
| Service | Typical Estimated Range |
|---|---|
| Spring Repair (one spring) | $180 – $340 |
| Spring Repair (matched pair) | about twice the single-spring range |
| Cable Repair | $130 – $250 |
| Track Realignment | $120 – $240 |
| Roller Replacement | $110 – $220 |
| Panel Replacement | $250 – $500 |
| Opener Repair | $120 – $320 |
| Opener Installation | $250 – $550 |
| New Door Installation | $700 – $2200 |
| Garage Door Repair (general) | $150 – $600 |
One spring sits at $180 – $340. Because springs wear together, we usually replace the matched pair in one visit, which lands around twice the single-spring range. What pushes a job toward the higher end is the door’s weight and size, the spring type (torsion springs on the shaft above the door vs. extension springs along the sides), and whether the cables, drums, or bearings are also worn. A heavier insulated door or a double-car door needs heavier-gauge springs, and that’s a real cost driver. When we quote, we quote the whole job so there’s no surprise halfway through.
What Affects Spring Replacement Pricing in Lakewood
Two jobs that look identical from the curb can come in at different prices. Here’s what actually moves the number:
- Spring type and gauge. Torsion springs cost more than extension springs, and the gauge has to match your door’s weight. A mis-matched spring is why doors fail early, so we size it correctly rather than reaching for whatever’s on the truck.
- Single door vs. double door. A two-car door carries more weight and takes heavier springs, which nudges the pair price up.
- What else is worn. If the cables are frayed or the drums are chewed up, we address them in the same visit. That adds to the ticket, but it’s cheaper than a second call and it’s honest about what your door actually needs.
- Brand and hardware. Whether you have a Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, or Raynor door, the springs and end hardware have to fit the door’s design. Since we work across all eight of those brands, we’re not guessing at the right replacement.
- Local climate and use. Lakewood’s mild weather is easier on doors than harsh cold, but regular daily use still cycles the springs toward their end, and that’s usually what finally does them in.
- Access and door condition. A door that’s been binding, off-track, or neglected can mean extra labor to get the mechanism right before the new springs go on.

How to Save on Spring Replacement
You can’t dodge spring replacement forever, but you can keep the cost at the lower end and avoid paying for the same fix twice:
- Replace the pair, not just the broken one. It feels cheaper to swap one spring, but the second one has the same cycles on it and usually fails within months. Doing both now costs about twice the single-spring range once, instead of two service visits.
- Fix the small stuff while we’re there. If the rollers are noisy or the tracks are out of line, handle it during the spring visit. It’s less than a return trip.
- Don’t force a stuck door. Pulling on a door with a broken spring can bend panels or throw the tracks, turning a spring job into panel or track work too. Stop using the door and call.
- Get the free estimate. It costs nothing to know the number. Call (866) 596-9807 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you honestly whether you need repair or replacement, without steering you toward a sale.
If you’re weighing a full replacement against another round of repairs, our Lakewood service area page lays out the wider menu of what we handle. And since one visit covers both the door mechanism and the opener system, a worn spring and a tired motor can be sorted together.
FAQs – Spring Replacement Cost
How much does it cost to replace a garage door spring in Lakewood?
One spring typically runs $180 – $340, and a matched pair, which is how most jobs are done, costs about twice that because the springs are replaced together. Call (866) 596-9807 for an exact quote, and the estimate is free.
Is it cheaper to replace one spring or both?
Both, over time. A single spring is the $180 – $340 range, but the second spring carries the same wear and usually fails soon after. Replacing the pair once at roughly double the single-spring cost beats paying for two separate visits. We’ll give you the honest answer for your door.
Can you fix a broken spring the same day?
Yes, most spring jobs are back in service the same day. We answer 24/7 and dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday, closed Saturday. A call outside dispatch hours is booked into the next opening. Call (866) 596-9807.
Why does a pair cost more than one spring?
Because a pair is two springs. Each spring is sized to your door’s weight, and we replace both at once so the door stays balanced. The pair price is around twice the single-spring range of $180 – $340. The written estimate sets the final price.
Do you work on my door brand?
Very likely. We’re certified across eight brands – LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor – so whether it’s a spring, a panel, a motor, or a remote, one company handles it in one visit. Call (866) 596-9807 for a free estimate.

What Our Customers Say
"Door installed in about four hours, old one hauled away, and he stayed to program both cars and the wall panel before he left."
- Yolanda Boyd"Replaced the bottom panel after I backed into it. Color match is close enough that you have to know to look for it."
- Gilbert Reyes"Logic board on a 15 year old opener. He was upfront that a new opener would cost less than the board plus labor, and he wasn't wrong. No pressure either way."
