Spring Replacement Questions & Answers
Why did my garage door spring break?
Springs are under constant tension and typically last 7-12 years or 10,000 cycles depending on usage. Cold weather, lack of maintenance, and normal wear cause springs to weaken and eventually snap.
Is it safe to replace garage door springs myself?
Spring repairs can be dangerous due to high-tension components that can cause serious injury. We always recommend having a licensed professional handle spring replacement with proper tools and safety procedures.
Should I replace both springs at once?
Generally yes. When one spring breaks, the other is usually close to failure. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a second service call within months.
What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs are mounted above the door and are typically safer and more durable. Extension springs run along the tracks and are found on older doors. We can help upgrade extension spring systems to torsion systems.
How long do garage door springs last?
Most springs last 7-12 years or 10,000 cycles depending on door usage and weight. High-cycle springs can last 20,000+ cycles (up to 15 years). Regular maintenance helps extend spring life.
