High Cycle Garage Door Springs
High cycle springs are designed to last longer than standard springs that are rated for 10,000 cycles. A cycle is one opening and closing of the door. The average door is opened 3-5 per day on average.
For a modest increase in the part cost, you can get a 25,000 cycle torsion spring that will last twice as long as a standard spring.
We think this is a wise investment. If our crew is out to replace your springs, why not upgrade to one that will last longer?
It doesn’t cost that much more yet you can double or triple the life and have greater peace of mind.
We’d be happy to discuss your options for upgrading your and how it could save you time, money and most of all, the inconvenience of a broken garage door.
Garage Door Spring FAQ
What are garage door springs?
Garage door springs are mechanical components that are used to counterbalance the weight of garage doors, making it easier to open and close them. They are typically made of steel and are located above the door, either in torsion or extension form.
How do I know if my springs need to be replaced?
Some signs that your springs may need to be replaced include difficulty opening or closing the garage door, uneven movement of the door, visible wear and tear on the springs, or if the springs have reached the end of their lifespan (usually 10,000 cycles for torsion springs and 5,000 cycles for extension springs).
Can I replace springs myself?
It is not recommended to replace torsion springs yourself, as they are under a significant amount of tension and can be dangerous to work with. It is best to hire a professional garage door technician to replace the springs.
How long do springs last?
The lifespan of your springs depends on how often the door is used. Torsion springs typically last for around 10,000 cycles, while extension springs last for around 5,000 cycles. With average use, this translates to around 7-9 years for torsion springs and 4-6 years for extension springs.
Can I replace only one spring, or do I need to replace both?
It is recommended to replace both at the same time, even if only one has failed. This ensures that the door is properly balanced and prevents premature wear on the remaining spring.
What type of springs do I need?
The type of spring you need depends on the weight and size of your door. Torsion springs are typically used for heavier doors, while extension springs are used for lighter doors. It is important to consult with a professional garage door technician to determine the correct type of spring for your door.
How much does it cost to replace springs?
The cost to replace garage door springs can vary depending on the type of springs, the size and weight of the door, and the location of the garage. On average, the cost can range from $150 to $350 for a single spring replacement and $200 to $500 for both springs. It is best to get a quote from a professional garage door technician for an accurate estimate.
How often should springs be maintained?
Springs should be inspected by a professional technician at least once a year to ensure they are functioning properly and are not showing signs of wear and tear. Regular lubrication of the springs can also help extend their lifespan.
