Clear answers to help you navigate garage door repairs with confidence.
That sound is the instantaneous release of kinetic energy when a high-torque steel torsion spring snaps under fatigue. Because garage doors weigh 180–350 lbs, the opener motor cannot lift the deadweight safely. Warning: Do not pull the red emergency cord while the door is elevated, as it can crash down uncontrollably.
In 2026, replacement for a pair of high-cycle torsion springs typically ranges from $220 to $420 nationwide including parts, labor, balance testing, and warranty. If a contractor quotes under $100 over the phone, be aware of rogue $29 service fee operators who add hidden fees upon arrival.
