How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?
How many times each day does your garage door open and close? If you ever stop to count, you might be surprised by how often it happens.
Now, consider the wear and tear each open-and-close cycle has on your door’s torsion system, including the springs, which support the weight of the door as it rises and lowers. While they might not look like much, those springs are the workhorses of your garage door system.
The life expectancy of garage door springs is measured in cycles. Most basic manufacturer springs will last 5,000 cycles. Oil-tempered springs perform better, lasting about 10,000 cycles.
The lifespan of a garage door spring can be compared to tires for your vehicles. When you go to the automotive dealer, you have options to buy 40,000-mile tires, 60,000-mile tires or even Michelin’s never-flat tires.
