Garage Door Repair in North Potomac, MD

How long do garage door springs last?

Springs are rated in cycles, where one cycle is the door opening and closing once. Standard torsion springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 cycles. How long that lasts depends on how often your household uses the garage; a door that runs many times a day wears its springs out much sooner than one used once or twice. Higher-cycle springs are available for doors that get heavy use.

If one spring breaks, should both be replaced?

On doors with two springs, replacing both at once is usually the better choice. The two springs have done the same number of cycles, so when one fails the other is often close behind, and a matched pair keeps the door balanced. We’ll look at your setup and explain the options during the free estimate. Until then, here’s how to stay safe with a broken spring.
