Frequently asked questions about Garage Door Spring Replacement in South Carolina

Can I drive the car out with a broken spring?
Technically yes for one trip if you manually lift the door — but the door weighs 150–250 lbs without spring assist and most home insurance won't cover a dropped-door injury. Most pros recommend leaving it shut until repaired.
Should I replace both springs even if only one broke?
For torsion springs on a double door, yes — both are the same age and the second usually fails within months. Replacing in pairs also keeps the door balanced. For extension springs, only replace the broken one unless the other shows visible rust or stretch.
How long does a garage door spring replacement take?
30–60 minutes for a professional, including testing door balance and opener limit settings. DIY (extension only): 60–90 minutes. Torsion DIY is not recommended without proper winding bars.
Are garage door springs covered under home warranty?
Most home warranties cover the opener motor, not the springs. Springs are usually classified as wear-and-tear items and excluded. Check your specific plan — a few premium tiers do cover them after a one-time service call fee ($75–$125).
How do I know which spring size I need?
Measure the broken spring: uncoiled length, wire diameter, and inside diameter. Most pros use the DASMA calculator (industry standard) to spec the replacement. If you're going DIY, photograph the existing spring's spec sheet — it's usually stamped on the spring itself.
