How Do Garage Door Springs Work?

Torsion springs are normally mounted horizontally above the opening of your garage door. When you pull the door down, cables attached to the bottom corners actually force torsion springs to wind up, in turn energizing the system. When you open the door, torsion springs then unwind and their energy transfers to the door, helping it to lift up and making it easier to open.

How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

Most garage door spring systems are designed to last 10,000 cycles. A cycle is when the garage door goes up and then goes back down. If you use your garage door four times a day, this equates to 1460 cycles in a year. That being said a garage door spring would only last for nearly 7 years.

However, there are conditions that make your springs more likely to break earlier. You may need to replace your garage door springs more frequently if you meet one or more of these conditions:

(1) You use your garage door frequently throughout the day - heavy usage will speed up springs wear and tear.

(2) Cold or humid environments can decrease your springs life cycles - rust and corrosion will weaken the metal of the spring

(3) You have a heavier garage door. Heavy garage doors will place more pressure on your springs and cause them to wear out sooner.

Can I Replace Garage Door Springs Myself?

It can be extremely dangerous to fix your garage door springs yourself. If you don't have the proper training and equipment for the job, you should always call a professional to do it. If you decide to do it on your own, you pose a risk for damage to yourself and your garage door.

We strongly recommend that only a trained garage door professional install garage door torsion springs. These springs need to be wound manually and can cause serious injury if the tension is released inadvertently.
