Why Springs Are Dangerous

Garage door springs hold 200–400 lbs of tension. A snapping spring can cause serious injury or death. Every year, thousands of Canadians are injured attempting DIY garage door spring repairs.

Professional Replacement Costs

Torsion spring replacement in the GTA costs $200–$400 for a single spring, $350–$600 for a pair. This includes the spring, labor, and a safety inspection of the entire door system.

Signs Your Springs Are Failing

Watch for: door feels heavier than usual, visible gaps in the spring coils, door does not stay open at the halfway point, loud bang from the garage (spring already broke). Springs typically last 10,000 cycles or about 7–10 years of normal use.
