Wire gauge, coil length and wind direction all have to match the door's weight and mounting, so a heavier door or a wider two-car opening generally costs more to spring than a lighter single door. Whether the door runs one torsion spring or two also matters — a lot of two-car doors are built to run on a matched pair, and if one spring failed the other is usually close behind, which is why replacing both at once is common practice rather than an upsell.
