Also asked, how much should a garage door spring cost?
Replacing garage door springs costs between $200 and $300 for a professional to complete the job. This includes the cost of the spring, which ranges from $40 to $100 for a torsion spring and $5 to $30 for an extension spring.
- Look at the end of the spring to determine the wind direction.
- Measure the length, in inches, of ten or twenty coil of the spring that needs to be replaced.
- For torsion springs, measure the inside diameter of the 1/16” of an inch.
- Measure the overall length of the spring to the nearest quarter inch.
In this manner, does Home Depot sell torsion springs?
Few years ago you could find torsion springs in a hardware store, such as Home Depot, Ace or Lowes, but since they are so dangerous to replace and people were getting hurt when they were replacing them, the hardware stores discontinued to sell them because of the liability to the store for selling an unsafe product.
Dangers and Risks A garage door with a broken torsion spring can fall rapidly and cause injury or death. However, the most common danger comes when your torsion springs break and you decide to undertake the repair/replace them yourself. Failure to do so may leave you with injuries and/or damage to your property.
