Garage door spring replacement in Palm Beach County.
Torsion and extension springs stocked on every truck. Most jobs done in 60 minutes door-to-door.
A garage door spring replacement in Palm Beach County costs $189–$329 for a single torsion spring or $329–$549 for a double-spring system, including parts, labor, and a 1-year warranty. Most replacements finish in 60 minutes. Lift Kings stocks every common torsion size on the truck — no second trip, no parts-fee surprises, no "we'll be back tomorrow." If you heard a loud bang and your door won't open, that's almost certainly a snapped spring. Don't try to open it manually; the unbalanced door can crash down.
Signs your garage door spring is broken.
If any one of these is happening, stop using the door. The full weight rides on the springs — using it with a broken one stresses the opener motor, cables, and tracks.
Loud bang from the garage
The single most common spring symptom. Sounds like a gunshot or firecracker.
Door won't open
Opener motor strains and stops, or the door lifts a few inches then refuses.
Door slams shut hard
Closes faster than usual or drops the last foot uncontrolled.
Visible gap in the spring
Look up — if you see a 2" gap mid-spring, it's snapped. Don't touch it.
Door is crooked when lifting
One side higher than the other usually means one of a pair has broken.
Manual lift is heavy
A balanced door should lift with two fingers. If it feels like dead weight, springs are gone.

Please don't DIY a torsion spring.
Wound torsion springs store enough energy to break bones. Every year, around 30,000 garage door injuries land Americans in the ER, and spring failure is a leading cause. The $189 we charge is mostly for the trained risk we take, not the $40 part. If you do nothing else: don't try to wind your own springs.

What PBC homeowners say.
"Heard the bang at 7am. Eric himself answered. Tech was here by 9, quote was $239 written down, done by 10:15. Door's quieter than when it was new."
"Both springs gone after 9 years. Got 3 quotes — Lift Kings was $80 cheaper AND the only ones offering high-cycle springs. No-brainer."
"Friday night at 8pm. Wife was stuck because the car was inside. They came out, $89 after-hours waived since we proceeded. Total respect."
"Tech actually showed me the spec sticker, told me the cycle count, explained why coastal homes need galvanized. Educated, didn't oversell."
Spring replacement, answered.
How long does spring replacement take?
Most single-spring jobs take 45–75 minutes door-to-door. Double-spring systems run 60–90 minutes. We do not leave until the door is balance-tested, lubricated, and operating normally.
Can I just replace one spring if only one broke?
Technically yes — and we'll do it if you insist. But if springs were installed at the same time, the second is within months of failing. Most homeowners save the trip charge and replace as a pair. We'll quote both ways and let you decide.
What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs sit above the door, wind tight, and lift via cable drums — quieter, safer, longer-lasting. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks and stretch as the door closes — louder, more common in older PBC homes. We replace both.
How long should the new spring last?
Standard torsion springs are rated 10,000 cycles — about 7 years in average use. PBC coastal homes typically see 5–8 years. Our high-cycle upgrade ($30–$50) lasts 20,000+ cycles, often 15+ years.
Will my opener work harder with the wrong spring?
Yes — wrong spring weight class burns opener motors. We always weight-match springs to door panel weight, which is why we ask door dimensions and panel type on the phone.
Do you guarantee the price you quote on the phone?
Yes — the phone price is the price, assuming the door matches what you described. If we find unrelated damage (worn cables, dead rollers), we'll quote those separately for your approval. Nothing surprise-billed.
From $189. Done in an hour. 1-year warranty minimum.
