FAQS
Do you have questions about garage door springs? We have answers! View frequently asked questions below or contact us!
How long do garage door springs last?
We see torsion springs last 15,000-20,000 cycles, and extension springs last 10,000 cycles. (A cycle is one opening and closing of your garage door). This usually means your springs will last 8-14 years, with torsion springs lasting 12-14 years and extension springs lasting 8-10 years. However, the lifespan depends on how often your garage door is used and if you keep up with maintenance.
How can I extend the life of my garage door spring?
To extend the life of your garage door springs, you need to invest in regular maintenance. This means lubricating, balancing, and tightening your springs so they can operate at their best. Let a professional perform these maintenance tasks for your whole garage door system once a year.
What are the types of garage door springs?
There are two major types of garage door springs: torsion and extension. Both work on a counterbalance system to maintain the weight of your garage door, but they operate in different ways. Torsion springs are installed above your garage door, stretching horizontally. They wind to close your garage door and unwind to open it. Extension springs are located on either side of your garage door, stretching vertically. They expand and contract to operate the overhead door.
