How long do garage door springs last?

Torsion springs typically last 10,000-15,000 cycles (7-12 years with normal use). Extension springs last 8,000-10,000 cycles. Factors like usage frequency and maintenance affect lifespan.

How are replacement springs matched to my garage door?

The correct spring depends on the measured door weight, height, track configuration, drum size, spring system, and expected cycle life. We identify those specifications before installing and balancing the replacement.

Should I replace both springs at once?

Yes, we recommend replacing both springs even if only one is broken. Springs installed at the same time wear at similar rates, and replacing both prevents another breakdown soon after.

How quickly can you replace broken springs?

We offer same-day service for most spring replacements. Call us in the morning and we can often be there the same day.

Safety: Not a DIY repair. Garage door springs hold extreme tension and can cause serious injury.

How the job is done

1Inspect and measure: The technician secures the door, then measures wire size, inside diameter and length to identify the correct spring.
2Release tension safely: Remaining spring tension is wound down with winding bars before anything is removed.
3Remove the old springs: Old springs, and any damaged cones or bushings, are taken off the torsion bar.
4Install the new springs: Matched high-cycle springs are fitted and wound to the tension the door weight requires.
5Balance and test: The door is balanced by hand, the opener force and auto-reverse are re-tested, and the customer sees it run before the technician leaves.
