Broken Spring FAQs

Most garage door springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle is opening and closing the door once). This typically translates to 7-12 years of use, depending on how frequently you use your garage door.

Yes, it's highly recommended to replace both springs at the same time. Springs are installed at the same time and experience similar wear. If one breaks, the other is likely to break soon after.

We use high-quality, high-cycle torsion springs designed for durability and longevity. We ensure the springs are correctly sized for your specific garage door's weight and dimensions.

It's extremely difficult and dangerous to open a garage door with a broken spring, especially with an automatic opener, which can be damaged. We strongly advise against attempting to open it and recommend calling for professional service immediately.
