- Most Broward County torsion spring jobs land between $180 and $500 installed, depending on how many springs and what size door.
- The three biggest price drivers are spring type, door weight, and whether one or both springs are replaced.
- Replacing both springs at once costs more today and usually costs less over the life of the door.
- Heavier hurricane impact-resistant doors use larger, higher-cycle springs, so they sit at the top of the range.

What you are actually paying for
A spring quote is not just the part. It covers the spring itself, the labor to unwind the old one safely, the winding and balancing of the new one, and a function test of the door and opener afterward.
That is why two homes on the same street in Plantation can get different numbers. The door hardware, not the zip code, sets the price.

Torsion springs vs extension springs
Torsion springs mount on a metal shaft above the door opening and are the standard on most modern Broward garages. They cost more per spring but last longer and control the door more smoothly.
Extension springs stretch along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. They are cheaper to buy, more common on older or lighter doors, and are always replaced as a matched pair.
Why the count matters more than the price per spring
Most double-car doors run two torsion springs. They are installed the same day and wear at nearly the same rate, so when one breaks, the second is usually close behind.
- Replacing one is the lower invoice today.
- Replacing both avoids a second service call within months and keeps the door balanced evenly.
- Mismatched springs pull unevenly, which strains the opener, rollers and cables.
What pushes a Broward job to the top of the range
South Florida adds a few local factors that do not show up in national averages.
- Hurricane impact-resistant doors are heavier and reinforced, so they need larger, higher-cycle springs.
- Coastal humidity and salt air shorten spring life on homes near the water, and rusted hardware sometimes needs replacing alongside the spring.
- Wide double doors and custom carriage doors use non-stock spring sizes.
- Damaged cables, rollers or a bent track discovered during the visit are separate line items, not hidden add-ons.
When a spring is not the whole problem
A snapped spring often takes something with it. If the door slammed down hard, cables can jump the drum and the door can come off track, which turns a spring job into an off-track and cable repair.
An honest technician tells you the difference on site and prices each item separately, so you can decide what gets done now. For the bigger picture on pricing beyond springs, see our breakdown of Garage Door Repair Cost in Broward County.
Is it worth repairing an older door?
Springs are a wear part, not a sign the door is finished. On a sound steel door, replacing springs is almost always the cheaper call.
Replacement makes more sense when the panels are cracked or rusted through, or when you want a hurricane impact-resistant door that the older one was never rated for.
