Garage door spring repair in Palm Beach County.
Same-day torsion and extension spring replacement dispatched from our Lantana and Loxahatchee offices. Eric answers. Free phone estimate. Written warranty.
Spring replacement is the most common garage door repair in Palm Beach County. The spring under tension stores enough energy to lift a 250-pound door — when it snaps, you hear a loud bang and the door becomes immovable. Most of our emergency dispatches are broken-spring calls.
Florida springs fail earlier than the national average because humidity accelerates oxidation on the spring wire. East of US-1, salt air multiplies the effect. A torsion spring rated for 10,000 cycles (about 7 years of average residential use) commonly fails at year 5-6 in coastal PBC. Galvanized coastal-grade springs roughly double that service life.
Spring replacement is the #1 source of DIY garage repair injuries. The tension involved is dangerous — a single mistake during winding can send the winding bar flying at lethal speed. We strongly recommend professional replacement. Most PBC homes are promptly of either our Lantana or Loxahatchee shop, and we dispatch the spring in standard stock on every truck.
Common spring-failure signals.
Loud bang heard from the garage
Most common signal. Torsion spring snapped under tension. Don't try to lift the door.
Door feels impossibly heavy
Without spring tension, the steel door weighs 150-300 lbs.
Visible gap in the spring coil
Walk in and look at the spring. Any gap >1/4 inch = broken in two.

Common questions.
How much does spring repair cost in PBC?
Single-spring replacement runs $189-$329 in PBC. Dual-spring systems run $329-$549. Galvanized coastal-grade upgrades add $60. All prices include parts, labor, and a 1-year warranty.
How long does spring replacement take?
30-60 minutes on-site for single-spring; 60-90 minutes for dual-spring systems or when cables are replaced at the same time. Most spring jobs finish in a single visit because the part is on the truck.
Why do Florida springs fail sooner?
Florida humidity accelerates oxidation on the spring wire. Salt air east of US-1 multiplies the effect. Standard springs commonly hit end-of-life at year 5-7 in coastal PBC vs. the 10-year national average. Galvanized coastal-grade springs extend that significantly.
Can I replace the spring myself?
Strongly recommended you don't. Garage door torsion springs hold extreme tension and are the #1 source of DIY garage repair injuries. The failure mode is the winding bar being launched at high speed. The savings aren't worth the risk.
