Types of Garage Door Springs We Replace
Torsion Springs
Mounted horizontally above the garage door opening on a steel shaft, torsion springs wind and unwind in a rotational motion as the garage door operates, smoothly lifting and lowering the door while distributing its weight evenly across the entire mechanism for safer, more reliable operation. Torsion springs are significantly more durable and longer-lasting than extension springs, typically providing 15,000 to 20,000 cycles up to 100,000 cycles compared to extension springs’ 10,000 cycles, making them the preferred choice for most modern residential and commercial garage doors.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are located to the side of your garage door and stretch and contract to assist in lifting the door. They work by extending when the door closes and contracting when it opens. Extension springs have largely been replaced due to their danger and higher rate of failure. While effective, extension springs require safety cables to prevent accidents in case of breakage, as they can snap under high tension and tend to be less safe to property and people.

FAQs – Garage Door Spring Replacement
If your garage door feels unusually heavy, won’t open, moves unevenly, or you hear a loud snapping sound, your springs may be broken or worn out. Visible gaps or rust on the springs are also signs they need replacing.
Garage door spring failure is usually caused by multiple factors over time. Garage door springs have a limited lifespan, as indicated by their number of cycles they are rated for. Once you go beyond this, they have a higher chance of failure. On top of this, corrosion, hot/cold cycles, and improper maintenance tend to play a factor as well. A poorly lubricated door can put additional strain on the springs during its open/close cycle, leading it to reach its use limit sooner.
Most garage door springs last at least 10,000-15,000 cycles. Higher end garage door springs can last 25,000, 50,000, or even up to 100,000 cycles. For the common 15,000 cycle spring, you’d be looking at about 7-10 years of use at an average use rate of a 2-4 times a day.
Yes, you should replace both garage door springs at the same time. Garage door springs are rated for a certain number of open/close cycles, so if one has broken, it is very likely the other one may be reaching its limit as well. It is also more economical to replace both at once, rather than having two separate service call and labor charges to take the torsion spring system apart. Having one worn out spring, and one full of life can also cause the system to be unbalanced, leading to further issues.
