OKC Garage Door Spring Pricing Breakdown
- Single Extension Spring Replacement: $150 – $200 (parts & labor included)
- Single Standard Torsion Spring: $200 – $275 (calibrated to door weight)
- Matched Pair of Torsion Springs: $275 – $350 (most common residential setup; saves money vs. two separate service calls)
- High-Cycle Torsion Upgrade (25,000–50,000 cycles): $350 – $450 (ideal for busy families cycling the door 4+ times daily)
- Full Extension-to-Torsion Conversion: $400 – $750 (includes new torsion shaft, drums, cables, and bearings)
What factors change the price
- Door weight: Heavy insulated steel or custom wood carriage doors require larger-diameter wire and heavier coils.
- Spring system: Torsion springs mounted on an overhead bar require specialized winding bars and precision calibration.
- Replacing one vs. both: Replacing both springs at once is cheaper per-spring because the technician does the labor in a single visit.
- Upfront pricing: Open Sesame Garages quotes the exact total upfront before turning a single wrench — no surprise after-hours or travel fees.
Why replace both springs during the same visit
Garage door springs are rated for a specific cycle count (typically 10,000 cycles). When one spring breaks from metal fatigue, the companion spring has endured the exact same stress and is usually weeks away from failing.
Replacing both together ensures balanced lifting torque, protects your opener motor from strain, and saves you the cost of a second emergency service call.
Related questions
Is garage door spring replacement a DIY job?
No. Garage door springs are wound under hundreds of pounds of kinetic tension and can cause life-threatening injuries if released improperly. This requires a licensed technician with calibrated winding bars and vise grips.
Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?
Do not pull the emergency release or try to run the opener with a broken spring. Without counterbalance springs, the full 150 to 300+ pound door can crash down or strip the opener gears.
