It is best practice to replace both springs if you have two springs. If one spring has broken the other will likely break soon as well.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 3 reviews.
I needed a replacement spring for a broken garage door. I called them up and they pointed me in the right direction and the shipping was fast and the spring is working fantastic.
The exact spring I needed with the exact dimensions. I called two overhead door companies local and they acted like I was crazy with the specs that I gave and I found this place and I will be buying more for my three other garage doors. Thank you.
