Anything is possible to do yourself, but there is always risk. For fixing garage door springs, we recommend having a trained garage door technician step in for the task.

The short answer is “no”. Once a garage door spring has been compromised for any reason beyond the oil drying out, the spring cannot be repaired. A broken garage door spring should always be replaced to get it back in proper working condition.

The main benefits of replacing a garage door spring will be that your garage door will operate how it is meant to, and in the case your current springs are extension springs, you’ll have the opportunity to switch those over to the more widely-used standard torsion springs.

Replacing both torsion springs will cost an average of $250. This cost will include parts and labor costs to get your garage door back on track.

Working with garage door springs can be dangerous if you do not have the right tools and experience. It is typically a low cost to fix the issue, so we always recommend letting professionals do this.
