What causes broken springs in garage doors?
Garage door springs break primarily due to metal fatigue from repeated use. Most residential springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close), which translates to about 7-10 years of typical use. Factors that accelerate spring failure include: extreme temperature fluctuations common in Ohio winters, lack of regular maintenance and lubrication, rust and corrosion from humidity, improper spring sizing for your door's weight, and poor quality springs from previous repairs. Signs your springs may be failing include: difficulty opening the door, the door feels heavier than usual, visible gaps in the spring coils, or the door opens unevenly. We recommend annual maintenance inspections to catch potential issues before complete failure.
