Garage Door Torsion Spring Replaced

Wednesday, April 14th, 2004

My garage doors are 9′x7′ wooden single car garage doors.  Last week the torsion spring on one of them broke.


After reading about the effort involved in replacing a torsion spring (http://truetex.com/garage.htm) I called a few companies in the Richmond area for quotes.  The prices ranged from $150 to $189.  The $189 price included garage door opener service. 


Old Dominion Door Sales included door lubrication in their $150 and they could come out the next morning, so I chose them.  I was really pleased with the work.  The fellow was very nice.  He replaced the broken spring on one door, lubed both doors, and replaced the nuts.  He did this in about 30 minutes.
