Frequently Asked Questions

Standard garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle equals one open and close). For the average household that uses the door 4 times per day, this translates to roughly 7-10 years of use. However, this can vary based on climate, maintenance, and door weight. Signs that your springs need replacement include: the door feels heavy to lift manually, you hear squeaking or grinding noises, visible gaps in the spring coils, or the door doesn't stay open when released. We recommend proactive replacement before complete failure to avoid being stranded with a non-functional door.
