At GD Master Ltd., we proudly serve St. Albert homeowners with fast and reliable garage door spring repairs. If your door feels heavy, gets stuck, or stops working, the problem may be a worn or broken spring. These issues are common in Alberta’s cold climate, and we’re here to fix them quickly so your door works safely again.
Garage door springs are under a lot of pressure. If handled the wrong way, they can snap and cause serious injury. We’ve seen many accidents happen when people try to fix it themselves. It’s always safer to let a trained technician do the job with the right tools and experience.
Replacing springs depends on the type, size, and weight of your door. In St. Albert, here’s what you can expect to pay:
1 Torsion Spring — $225 + Gst (Supplied & Installed)
2 Torsion Springs — $349 +Gst (Supplied & Installed)
Quotes are applicable for residential torsion springs only, with a maximum garage door height of 8 feet. Any unforeseen repairs and/or parts will be charged extra if required.
Garage door springs store energy to help lift and lower your door. Torsion springs, which sit above the door, twist to create torque. This torque balances the door’s weight. When the spring breaks, your opener can’t lift the door properly—and it can become dangerous. Contact Us for Spring Replacement in St. Albert
Don’t wait until the problem gets worse. If your garage door isn’t working properly, it could be the spring.
Visible Gaps or Cracks in the Spring
Look closely at the spring above your door. If it looks stretched out, cracked, or split in two, it’s time for a replacement.

Loose or Tangled Cables
Springs work with cables. If your cables are hanging loose or off the drum, the spring may have failed.
Loud “Bang” Sound
Many people hear a loud snap or pop when the spring breaks. This is caused by the sudden release of tension.
It’s not recommended. Operating a garage door with a broken spring can be dangerous and may cause damage to other parts of the door system. Call a professional in St. Albert for safe repairs.
