When torsion or extension springs become too worn or damaged they must be replaced. Much like other garage door parts, springs have life cycles, too. Instead of being counted in average years of workable service like openers that last around 15 years, your springs life cycles are measured in use. One cycle is equal to your garage door being opened and then closed one time. Each garage door operator uses his or her garage door at a different rate. Just remember that each time you use your garage door, you use up one or more of your spring cycles. Torsion springs tend to last longer. They are newer and have fewer parts than the older extension springs. Torsion springs tend to last 15,000 to 20,000 life cycles as opposed to extension springs that average between 5,000 and 10,000. Bear in mind that when one spring snaps, the other is not too far behind and you really should have them both replaced if possible.

You may be wondering how you can tell if your garage door needs spring replacement or something else like opener repair? If you are not sure, just call our Burien Garage Door shop and describe the symptoms to us. Our experienced and skilled service technicians will usually be able to tell based on what you tell us. We can give you additional information along with some free price quotes based on your description. Some “symptoms” you might recognize as spring problems right away. For instance, if your garage door starts to rise but then falls back down, this is a classic sign of damaged springs. Also, if you notice a lopsided tilt to your garage door then that too is an indicator that at least one of your springs has snapped.
