The spring is $12. The risk is not.
A torsion spring is a cheap part and a dangerous job, and the price has to reflect both at once. Quote it hourly and the customer sees a small part number and a big invoice and assumes they’re being padded for time. Quote it flat, printed the same for every house, and the price stops looking negotiable — because it isn’t. A book with one number per repair takes the argument out of the driveway before it starts.
Garage door work is usually an afterthought in the big flat-rate platforms, which are built first for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service calls. ServiceTitan sits behind a sales demo at roughly $245+ per tech monthly. Profit Rhino runs $39–59 a tech per month and sells a separate $1,499 “Success Coaching & Implementation” package on its Pro tier. Both assume a company with several trucks on a dispatch board, not one tech and one van.

QuoteIron’s 50 garage-door templates don’t hand you a “market price” for a torsion-spring swap and ask you to trust it. Each one carries a typical labor-hour range and a mid-grade parts cost, structure only. Your rate and markup do the actual pricing, and you can override any single row without rebuilding the rest of the book.
The book, one row at a time.
This is what a flat-rate price book for garage door pros actually looks like — a row per repair, typical hours, what’s included, and a price. These nine come straight from the QuoteIron garage-door catalog.
These prices are examples. Every row below is priced at a sample rate of $95/hr labor + 30% materials markup, rounded to $5 — the book-builder’s defaults, not market rates. In the builder you set your own three numbers and every row reprices in one second. Some folks call it garage door flat rate pricing; others want a garage door price list template. Same thing — a book of firm prices, built off your own numbers, that you own outright.
| Job (what a book row looks like) | Typical hours | Parts (mid-grade) | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service call & diagnosticDiagnose the door or opener problem, test operation, and give a fixed price; repairs quoted separately. | 1 h | $5 | $105 |
| Replace torsion spring, singleRemove the failed torsion spring and install one mid-grade replacement, then wind and balance the door. | 1.5 h | $35 | $190 |
| Replace pair of torsion springsSwap both torsion springs as a matched set, wind to proper tension, and balance the door. | 2 h | $70 | $285 |
| Install chain-drive openerMount a new chain-drive opener, run rail and wiring, program travel limits, and test safety reverse. | 2 h | $150 | $385 |
| Install belt-drive openerMount a new belt-drive opener for quiet operation, set travel limits, and test the safety reverse. | 2 h | $180 | $425 |
| Replace 10 nylon rollersSwap all ten worn rollers for quiet nylon rollers and check the door runs smoothly. | 1.25 h | $25 | $155 |
| Replace bottom weather sealPull the old bottom seal and slide in a new rubber gasket to block drafts and water. | 1 h | $20 | $125 |
| Garage door tune-up & balanceAdjust springs, tighten hardware, lube moving parts, and rebalance the door for smooth travel. | 1 h | $10 | $110 |
| Replace photo-eye safety sensorsReplace both photo-eye sensors, realign the beam, and test that the door reverses on obstruction. | 1 h | $30 | $135 |
Templates carry structure — typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing; every number is editable in the builder and the app.
Three numbers.
Your whole book prices itself.
Pick the trade
Open the builder and tap Garage Door. You get the real repairs — torsion and extension springs, opener installs, roller and cable swaps, weather seal, tune-ups and safety sensors — the calls you run every day.
Set three numbers
Your labor rate, your materials markup, your rounding. The sample reprices in one second. The example rows here use $95/hr and 30% — swap in yours and watch every price change.
Print it or quote it
Print the sample as a paper book for the truck, or open the QuoteIron app to quote a live garage-door repair in about 90 seconds — then turn the quote into an invoice with one tap.
Not your trade? Pick it.
Every trade below has its own flat-rate book in QuoteIron — real residential jobs, priced from your numbers. There’s also the multi-trade book builder and the main QuoteIron page.
Fair questions.
Can I edit every price?
Yes — every number. The 50 garage door templates carry structure only: typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing, and you can override any single row. QuoteIron never ships “market prices” it can’t stand behind.
Does it work offline?
The book-builder runs right in your browser. The full QuoteIron app installs to your phone’s home screen and works with no signal at all — detached garages, new-build sites with no service yet. It’s an app that lives on your phone, not a website that dies with the bars.
What does it cost after the free sample?
The sample book is free, no signup. The full app — the whole 50-job book, editing, 90-second quoting, invoices, e-signatures, and follow-ups — is $14 a month flat, or $140 a year. Fourteen-day trial, no card up front, and you cancel online in one click.
What about a full door replacement?
That’s a custom quote — add your own line and price the door your way. The book is for the repairs that make up most of your calls — the spring, the opener, the rollers, the seal, the tune-up — quoted in about 90 seconds so you close it at the door.
Do I have to build the whole book myself before I can start quoting?
No. Choosing Garage Door during onboarding seeds your book with the full 50 garage-door templates already in it. Set your labor rate, materials markup, and rounding once, and every row prices itself — you add custom lines only for the jobs that don’t fit a template.
Does the book handle spring-tension safety or code compliance?
No. Winding a spring safely and confirming photo-eye and reversal function stay your training and your call, the same as always. The book prices labor and parts structure for the repair — it doesn’t replace judgment on the job.
Your book. Your prices.
Built in about a minute.
Start free — pick the trade, punch in three numbers, and watch the book price itself. No signup for the sample; the full 50-job book, editing, and 90-second quoting live in the $14/mo app.
