When your door needs Overhead Door torsion spring replacement, you want it done safely and right the first time. Typical jobs in Minnesota cost $200-$450, and you approve the price first. Torsion springs replaced and wound correctly, with high-cycle upgrades available. We work on Overhead Door garage doors of every age, from older models to current lines, and carry or can source compatible parts. Overhead Door traces its roots to C.G. Johnson, who invented the upward-acting garage door in 1921. The company builds residential and commercial doors and openers.
Safety first: springs and cables hold hundreds of pounds of tension. Don't try to adjust or remove them yourself, and don't run the opener on a door that's crooked or has a broken spring.
When to call for Overhead Door torsion spring replacement
- A gap in the spring mounted on the bar above the door
- The door slams shut or won't stay open
- Only one side of the door lifts and the door goes crooked
- The door is suddenly too heavy to lift by hand
Common causes
- Normal fatigue at the end of the spring's rated cycles
- Rust or lack of lubrication
- An undersized spring working too hard
- A door that's been made heavier with insulation or new panels
Safe checks before you call
- Count the springs above the door. Two-spring doors should have both replaced together.
- Look for rust or dry, squeaky coils, which are signs the spring is wearing out.
- Note how often the door is used each day so the right cycle rating can be chosen.

Overhead Door Torsion Spring Replacement: frequently asked questions
How much does Overhead Door torsion spring replacement cost in Minnesota?
Overhead Door Torsion Spring Replacement typically costs $200-$450 including parts and labor, and usually takes 1-2 hours. The exact price depends on your door and the parts it needs, and you get it before any work starts. Call (833) 435-8883 for a quote.
Can you do Overhead Door torsion spring replacement the same day?
Often, yes. When a technician is available we can usually come the same day, and common parts are carried on the truck. Doors that won't close or have a broken spring are treated as priority calls, and emergency service is available.
Is Overhead Door torsion spring replacement covered by a warranty?
Our work comes with a 90-day labor warranty on repairs. New parts and doors also carry the manufacturer's warranty, and Overhead Door warranty terms vary by product and age. Ask for the warranty details in writing with your quote.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Our technicians are insured, and where Minnesota or your city requires a contractor license for garage door work, the job is done under that license. You're welcome to ask for proof when you book.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about 50% of a replacement, or the garage door is near the end of its life, replace it. A garage door typically lasts 15 to 30 years. If several panels are damaged, the door is rusted through or rotted, or parts are discontinued, replacing it is often better value. Springs are the exception: a broken spring is always replaced, never repaired. Our free repair vs. replace calculator can help you compare.
