Garage Door Spring Replacement

When a spring breaks, the door won't lift. We replace both springs (always both), test the system, and put a free K Kap on every spring before we leave.

Torsion springs do the actual lifting — the opener just guides the door along for the ride. So when a spring lets go, the door slumps, the opener strains against weight it was never meant to carry, and you're parked in or parked out.

Kooler replaces both springs every time, because they wore at the same rate and the one that didn't break today is breaking soon. We size the spring to your door's real weight, re-balance the system mid-travel, and load-test it before we leave.

And on the way out, every spring gets a free K Kap — our patented plastic safety/warning cap over the high-torque winding-cone end. Like an outlet cover, for the spring. Since 2015. Local and family owned.

How we do it

The Kooler standard, broken down.

01

Always both. Same wear.

Both springs lift the same door the same cycles for the same years. The one that didn't break today is breaking soon. Replacing one is a callback waiting to happen — we replace both, every time.

02

Size to your door.

Spring spec depends on door weight, height, and lift type. Wrong spec means the door fights the opener for the next ten years. We weigh the door, calculate the cycle rating, and install the right one.

03

K Kap on every spring. Free.

Torsion springs store 250-400 foot-pounds of energy at the adjustable winding-cone end. That is where 20,000-30,000 garage-door injuries a year start — homeowners reaching into a high-torque part of the system they did not know was dangerous. The K Kap is our patented plastic safety/warning cap — like an outlet cover, for the spring — that snaps over that exact end so the eye sees the warning before the hand finds the hazard. Free on every spring. Kooler-only.

Common questions

Things homeowners ask about this service.

How much does a spring replacement cost?

+
Single-car doors run $476 (BASE) to $1,292 (Kustom Power); double-car doors run $594 to $1,591 — both springs replaced, sized to your door weight and the cycle rating you pick after the Door Score. The K Kap safety/warning cap is included free on every spring, no add-on charge.

Why both springs?

+
Because they wore identically. Replacing one means we're back in your driveway within a year for the other side. Both, every time — that's the standard.

What's the K Kap?

+
Our patented plastic safety/warning cap for torsion springs. USPTO provisional filed March 2026. It does not contain a failed spring — it is a visible warning over the adjustable, high-torque end of the spring so homeowners and DIYers know not to put hands there. Free on every Kooler service that touches a spring. See the full K Kap page for the why and the install detail.

How long does the swap take?

+
60-90 minutes for a standard door. The K Kap takes seconds to install on each spring at the end. Single visit.
