Which spring: what decides the price
| What you are choosing | What it does to the price |
|---|---|
| Torsion or extension | Extension springs are cheaper parts ($29.92 to $72.90 each) but are replaced in pairs. |
| How much door the spring lifts | Heavier doors need thicker, longer wire; at DDM the residential range runs from $35.38 to $87.91 a spring. |
| One spring or two | On a two-spring door, DASMA says replace both. Pairs are sold boxed, left and right wound. |
| Cycle rating | High-cycle pairs cost $27 to $56 more than standard for the same door (DDM). |
| What comes in the box | Some springs come with cones, winding bars or cables; others are the spring alone. |
Reading a spring's size
Every listing above is sold by wire size, inside diameter, length and wind direction, and the right one depends on the door's weight. DASMA's Technical Data Sheet 190 says a spring that does not meet the door's counterbalance requirement can shorten the life of the door and its opener and “could also result in a safety issue”. That is one reason to ask a technician's quote to name the spring: a named spring is one you can price on this page.
Parts are the small part of the bill
On our estimate the visit, a service call plus up to one more hour of labor, is $75 to $200, and a torsion pair installed is $145 to $520. See the garage door spring replacement cost calculator for your door and state, and garage door service call fees for what the visit covers.
Safety: DASMA's Technical Data Sheet 174 says “Building occupants should not attempt to remove, adjust or repair doors, springs, or any other door system components”. Spring work is for a trained technician.

Frequently Asked
Answers checked 14 October 2026.
How much is a garage door spring?
A residential torsion spring for a 7 ft door costs $35.38 to $157.94 on its own at the two online suppliers we checked, depending on how much door it lifts. An extension spring is $29.92 to $72.90. Installed, with the service call and labor, a torsion pair is $145 to $520 on our estimate.
How much are garage door springs at Home Depot?
Home Depot sells torsion spring pairs online. One we read on 14 October 2026, the DURA-LIFT DLTY225B pair (0.207 in wire, 2 in inside diameter, 25 in long, rated for 91 lb), was $79.41 with a Maine store selected; Home Depot says local store prices may vary. The right spring depends on your door's weight and the old spring's size, so price the size you need.
What about Lowe's and Amazon?
Both sell garage door springs, but we could not read and record a current price from either on the day we checked, so we do not state one. Compare any listing against the measurements of your old spring.
Why is the installed price so much higher than the spring?
Because most of the bill is the visit: a $75 to $100 service call that often covers the first hour, then up to $100 an hour (Yelp), or $75 to $200 in all on our estimate. The spring stores enough energy to injure, which is why DASMA says only trained technicians should work on it.
Should I buy springs and fit them myself?
No. DASMA's Technical Data Sheet 174 says occupants should not remove, adjust or repair springs, which move the door "under extreme tension, and can cause serious injury or death". Knowing the part price is for checking a quote.
