Signs You Need a Spring Replacement
What Affects Spring Replacement Cost
Spring type: standard oil-tempered vs. galvanized vs. high-cycle
Door weight — heavier insulated or wood doors need higher-torque springs
One spring vs. matched pair (we strongly recommend replacing pairs)
Whether cables, drums, or bearings need replacing at the same time
Door size — single door vs. double door changes hardware sizing
Access — low-headroom setups and torsion-conversion jobs take longer
Why We Almost Always Replace Springs in Pairs
Springs on a two-spring door share the same wear cycle. When one breaks, the second is statistically within weeks of failing. Replacing only the broken one is cheaper today, but almost guarantees a second service call within a few months — and by then the imbalance has usually worn out the cables, drums, or opener gears. A pair replacement: - Costs less than two separate visits - Balances the door properly, protecting the opener - Comes with a single warranty on both springs We'll always show you both options. Most Montreal homeowners choose the pair once they see the math.
