Spring Replacement in Ankeny

Professional spring replacement for Ankeny homes & businesses

Springs do the heavy lifting on a garage door. The opener only guides it. Most standard springs are rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles, so a door used four or five times a day wears its springs out in roughly six to eight years.

We match the new spring to the weight and height of your door, wind it to the right tension and test the balance. On two-spring doors we usually recommend replacing both, because the second one is the same age and close behind.

Ankeny Garage Door Repair provides spring replacement throughout Ankeny, IA and Polk County, with the full price quoted before any work starts. As your local garage door techs in Ankeny, we find the cause and fix it right the first time. Questions first? Read our garage door FAQs.

Local expertise

Spring Replacement for Polk County homes

Ankeny winters are hard on springs. Steel gets more brittle in deep cold, and many springs break on the first sharp cold snap of the year, often on a morning when the door has sat closed all night.

We serve these communities from our shop at 615 N Ankeny Blvd:

How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Ankeny?

It depends on the spring type, the door weight and whether you replace one or both. We give you the price before any work.

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

We do not recommend it. Torsion springs hold a lot of stored energy and can cause serious injury.

Why did my spring break in winter?

Cold makes steel more brittle, and a worn spring often fails on a cold morning.

What are high-cycle springs?

Springs rated for more open-and-close cycles than standard springs. They cost more but last longer on busy doors.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles, which is roughly 6 to 8 years for most homes.

Should I replace both springs?

On two-spring doors, yes. The second spring is the same age and usually fails soon after.

Can I open the door with a broken spring?

Do not try. The door is very heavy without the spring and can fall.

Do you carry springs on the truck?

We carry common sizes so most spring jobs are done in one visit.
