What drives the price
- Torsion or extension. Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door and cost more. Extension springs run along the tracks and cost less.
- Replace both. Doors have two springs that wear at the same rate. Replacing only the broken one usually means a second call soon.
- Door weight. A heavy wood or double door needs larger springs, which cost a little more each.
