Overhead Door Spring FAQs
What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion springs mount above the door and twist to lift. Extension springs mount on either side and stretch. Torsion springs are generally safer and last longer.
How many cycles do overhead door springs last?
Standard springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (opens + closes). With average use of 4 cycles/day, that's about 7 years. High-cycle springs offer 25,000-100,000 cycles.
Why is my garage door opener straining?
If springs are worn, the door is heavier and the opener works harder. This reduces opener lifespan. Replacing springs often resolves opener performance issues.
Can I use my door with one spring broken?
No. Operating with a broken spring puts extreme stress on the remaining spring (if present) and the opener. It can cause further damage and is a safety hazard.
Do you carry springs on your service vehicles?
Yes, we stock a range of common spring sizes. Most replacements are completed same-day. Unusual sizes may require ordering, but we always advise upfront.
