Question 2

What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and have a limited lifespan, typically rated for about 10,000 cycles (one cycle = opening and closing the door once). The most common cause of spring failure is simple wear and tear over time. However, several factors can accelerate this: extreme temperature fluctuations common in North Carolina can cause metal fatigue; rust and corrosion from humidity weaken the spring; poor maintenance leads to increased friction and stress; and improper spring sizing during initial installation means the spring works harder than designed. Signs that your springs may be failing include the door feeling heavier than usual, visible gaps in the spring coils, or squeaking noises during operation. We recommend annual maintenance inspections to catch potential spring problems before they fail completely.
