I’d rather pay a few extra hundred and avoid a trip to the emergency room…

$450 for my replacement a few months back. That sounds steep.

Did you replace both springs? Cables?

Is that one spring or two?

I was quoted $700 for that in 2020 or $1100 for a new insulated door

That's about what I paid a few months ago for 2 springs, rollers, and cables.

Yikes. It’s really not that hard if you are careful. I did my own for under $200
