Converting a Torquemaster spring to a Torsion Spring -- cost?

[blairlee]

I've got a pretty standard 16x7 garage door in my new-construction home. The garage door company installed a Wayne Dalton door with a Torquemaster spring.

I've seen a few reports of people who switched out their Torquemasters for standard torsion springs. How much should this cost?

 

[Schtauffer]

16' Tube: $30
Drums: $22
Cables: $22
Spring: around $70, depending on weight of door (what model?)
end & center bearings with plates: $39
Should take about 1-1.5 hours of labor for an experienced technician.

Thanks Schtauffer. I'll give the garage door people a call tomorrow to see what they say. I'm not at the house right now, but based on the website I'd guess that they put either a 9100 or 9600 on there. Nothing fancy.

Check out this site and give them a call. They helped me to convert some extension springs to torsion springs and told me what I needed (drums, brackets, cables, etc.). They were very helpful.

Around this neck of the woods - most of my competitors charge in the 400$ range. (But they know the WD dealers not going to get there for 2-3 weeks)
