Garage Door Spring Replacement — Metro Vancouver

Torsion springs are what actually lift your garage door. The opener just guides it — the spring does the work. When one breaks, you will hear a loud bang and the door will either drop or become too heavy to lift. This is the most common garage door failure we see, and we carry the hardware to fix it same-day.

What We Do (and What We Do Not)

We replace springs in matched pairs using the correct wire diameter and turn count calculated for your door exact weight. We do not replace just the broken spring and leave the old one. Springs wear out together — if one snapped, the other is close. Mismatched spring tension causes uneven lift and puts stress on the opener, the cables, and the door itself.

We stock standard residential torsion springs and high-cycle springs (25,000+ cycle rated) for doors that get heavy use. If you want the high-cycle option — typically worth it for an attached garage with a door used 6-10 times daily — ask when you call.

DIY Warning

Garage door springs are under several hundred pounds of stored tension. A spring that releases uncontrolled can cause serious injury. This is not a repair to attempt without the right winding bars, safety knowledge, and experience with the specific spring type on your door.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Metro Vancouver with your company?

Our service call is $59 for residential jobs, and spring/cable labor ranges from $110 to $185 depending on the spring type and door weight. We provide exact pricing after a quick assessment—no hidden fees.

Do you offer same-day spring replacement in Richmond, Burnaby, or Surrey?

Yes, we stock standard and high-cycle torsion springs and commonly complete same-day replacements across Metro Vancouver, including Richmond, Burnaby, and Surrey, when called early in the day.

Is it safe to replace just one garage door spring if the other looks fine?

No—we always replace springs in matched pairs. Even if one looks okay, it’s worn and will fail soon; mismatched tension damages the opener, cables, and door.

Can I fix a broken garage door spring myself to save money?

No—torsion springs store hundreds of pounds of force. Releasing them without proper tools and training can cause severe injury or death. This is not a DIY repair.

What’s the difference between standard and high-cycle garage door springs?

Standard springs last about 10,000 cycles; high-cycle springs are rated for 25,000+ cycles and are ideal for doors used 6–10 times daily, like in attached garages with frequent use.

How long does a garage door spring replacement take from start to finish?

Most residential spring replacements take 60 to 90 minutes, including safety checks, removal, installation of matched pairs, and balance testing—same-day service is typical.

Do you service garage door springs in multi-unit buildings or commercial properties in Metro Vancouver?

Yes, we provide commercial spring replacement with a $87 service call and same-day availability for warehouses, strata complexes, and businesses across Metro Vancouver.

What happens if I keep using my garage door with a broken spring?

The door becomes extremely heavy or may drop suddenly. Continuing to use it risks damaging the opener, cables, rollers, and panels—and creates a serious safety hazard.

Are your technicians licensed and insured for spring replacement in Vancouver and surrounding areas?

Yes, all our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained to safely replace torsion springs in accordance with local safety standards—we’ve served Metro Vancouver since 2016.

Do you offer a warranty on garage door spring replacements?

Yes, we provide a 2-year warranty on both parts and labor for all spring replacements and repairs—coverage includes defects and installation issues.

How do I know if I need torsion spring replacement vs. just cable repair?

If the door won’t lift, feels extremely heavy, or you heard a loud bang, it’s likely a broken spring. Cables usually fray or snap separately—we diagnose the exact issue during our service call.

Do you travel to Coquitlam, Port Moody, and New Westminster for emergency spring repairs?

Absolutely—we provide 24/7 emergency spring replacement across all listed Metro Vancouver locations, including Coquitlam, Port Moody, and New Westminster, with same-day response common.
