How much does garage door spring replacement cost?

The price depends on spring type, door size and weight, the cycle rating required, and whether both springs need replacing. Call 0434 099 873 for a fast, free quote — we can usually price it over the phone.

Should I replace both springs at the same time?

Yes. If one spring breaks the other is typically the same age. Replacing both at once saves a second call-out fee and ensures even tension.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles. For average residential use that is roughly 7–14 years. Gold Coast salt air can shorten this.

A loud bang from the garage and a door that suddenly won't lift — that's a snapped spring, and we replace them same-day right across the Gold Coast. We measure the door's weight and wire gauge, fit correctly rated torsion or extension springs in pairs, then wind them to the exact tension and balance-test the door before reconnecting the motor.

On the Gold Coast, where salt air and high humidity accelerate metal fatigue, springs can fail ahead of their rated cycle life. Fortex Door Services carries a full stock of torsion and extension springs for same-day replacement across Burleigh, Palm Beach, Robina, Varsity Lakes and all surrounding suburbs.

We always recommend replacing both springs when one breaks. The surviving spring is typically the same age and near the end of its life — replacing the pair avoids a second call-out within months.

Our Process

Assess

We measure door weight, wire gauge and spring size to identify the correct replacement specification.

Safe Removal

The broken spring is wound down safely using calibrated winding bars before removal.

Replace

Both springs are replaced with correctly sized units and wound to the precise number of turns.

Balance Test

The door is disconnected from the motor and manually tested to confirm proper balance.

Full Check

We lubricate all moving parts, inspect cables and rollers, and reconnect the motor before testing.

⚠ Safety Warning

Garage door springs are under enormous tension and can cause serious injury or death if handled incorrectly. Spring replacement should only be performed by trained technicians. Never attempt to adjust, wind, or replace springs yourself.
