This price covers the cost of new, high-cycle torsion springs, the labor required to safely remove the failed components, and the recalibration of your door’s balance, all documented under The Haven Standard.

You will never be surprised by an invoice at the end of a job. If your door has stopped lifting or you see a visible gap in the coils of your spring, call (213) 418-2520 to schedule a technician. We photograph the failed part before quoting any repair, ensuring you understand exactly what you are paying for.
Spring Replacement Cost Breakdown (2026)
The cost of replacing a garage door spring in Van Nuys depends on the type of system your door uses and the weight of the door itself. Heavier, custom-carriage or solid wood doors require specialized springs that differ from those used on standard lightweight steel doors. Below is the current market pricing for common garage door services in Van Nuys.
| Service Item | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Torsion Spring Replacement | $180 - $340 |
| Cable Replacement (per pair) | $130 - $250 |

These ranges reflect the total cost for the service in the Van Nuys area. If you have received a quote from another company, we offer a Free Second Opinion. Bring the paperwork to our technician, and we will review the scope of work against our own assessment. We do not use coupons or hidden fees to lower prices artificially; our prices are based on the hardware and the labor required to complete the repair correctly the first time.
What Affects Spring Replacement Pricing in Van Nuys
Several factors influence the final cost of your spring repair. We see these variations daily across neighborhoods like Lake Balboa, the area near Van Nuys Airport, and the residential stretches along Victory Boulevard. Understanding these variables helps you know what to expect when a technician arrives at your home.
- Spring Size and Wire Gauge: Not all springs are identical. The wire diameter and the length of the spring coils must precisely match the weight of your specific garage door. We measure your existing springs to ensure the new ones provide the exact lift required for your door’s mass.
- Door Weight and Material: A standard steel door is significantly lighter than a carriage-style wood door or a door with custom glass inserts. Heavier doors require high-cycle, heavy-duty springs that cost more to manufacture and install.
- Hardware Condition: When a spring snaps, it can put excessive stress on the cables, pulleys, and rollers. If these components show signs of wear or damage, we may need to replace them to ensure the door operates safely. Per Clause 4 of The Haven Standard, we photograph all damaged components so you can see the wear before we recommend a replacement.
- Conversion Requirements: Some older homes in Van Nuys use outdated spring systems that may require a conversion to a modern, more stable torsion setup. While this increases the initial cost, it often improves the longevity and safety of the door.
- Emergency Service Timing: We provide 24/7 emergency service for urgent garage door failures. While our standard pricing applies to most calls, emergency service outside of normal business hours is available for customers who need their garage secured immediately.
Safety is our priority. Garage door springs are under immense tension-often hundreds of pounds of force. If you suspect your spring is broken, please do not attempt to lift the door or adjust the hardware yourself. The risk of injury is high. Call us at (213) 418-2520, and we will dispatch a trained technician to secure the door and perform the necessary repairs.
BeforeAfterHow to Save on Spring Replacement
The best way to save money on garage door repairs is to avoid recurring issues by ensuring the work is done correctly the first time. We back our work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a repair we performed fails within a year, we make it right, period. This promise is backed by The Haven Standard, ensuring you aren’t paying for the same repair twice.
You can also save by bundling related maintenance. If we are already at your home to replace a broken spring, we can often replace worn rollers or tighten hardware for a minimal additional cost. This prevents the need for a second service call later. We do not upsell services you do not need; our technician will show you the photo evidence of any component that is nearing the end of its life, and you can decide whether to address it while we are already on-site.
If you have received a quote from another provider that seems high, or if you are unsure about the scope of work they recommended, take advantage of our Free Second Opinion. We are happy to look at your door and provide our own assessment. We do not use “call for a quote” tactics; our pricing is transparent and provided in writing before we begin.
FAQs - Spring Replacement Cost
How much does it cost to replace a broken garage door spring in Van Nuys?
Replacing a broken torsion spring in Van Nuys typically costs between $180 and $340. This includes the hardware, labor, and door balance check. If you notice your door is heavy to lift or you see a gap in the coils, call (213) 418-2520 for an exact, written quote.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace the entire garage door system?
Usually, repairing the spring and maintaining the existing system is far more cost-effective than replacing the entire door. A spring replacement is a standard maintenance task, whereas a new door installation can range from $700 to $2,200. We will only recommend a replacement if the door structure itself is failing or unsafe.
Can you fix my garage door spring today?
Yes, we offer same-day service for spring replacements in Van Nuys. Because we maintain a full inventory of parts for all major brands like LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie, we can usually complete the repair in a single visit. Call (213) 418-2520 to check our current schedule.
What if the technician finds other broken parts?
Under Clause 4 of The Haven Standard, our technician will photograph any damaged parts they find-such as frayed cables or worn rollers-and show them to you before discussing a price. You will see the evidence of the failure before any work is authorized, so you are never paying for mystery parts or unnecessary labor.
Do you provide a warranty on spring replacements?
Yes, our work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the springs do not perform as expected, we return to fix the issue at no additional cost. We stand by our work with a documented record of every service visit, ensuring you have a clear paper trail for your home maintenance records.

What Our Customers Say
"Straightforward. They gave me the range over the phone, confirmed it in writing on site, and did not try to sell me anything else while they were here."
- Evan T."Opener had been stalling for months. The tech showed me the logic board reading, replaced the board instead of the whole unit, and it cost a third of the other quote I had."
- Robert K."They sent a photo of the snapped torsion spring before quoting anything. Price on the estimate was the price on the invoice. I have never had that happen with a home repair."
- Dana W.
