The part that does the heavy lifting
Springs counterbalance your door’s weight so it feels light and the opener doesn’t strain. Standard springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles, so most wear out within 7 to 10 years.
Upgrading to high-cycle springs when you replace them costs a little more and can double the time until the next replacement.
You may have a broken spring if…
- You heard a loud bang from the garage
- The door won’t open, or only lifts a few inches
- You see a gap in the coil above the door
- The door feels unusually heavy
- Cables are loose or hanging
What proper replacement includes
- Springs matched to your door’s weight
- Option for long-life, high-cycle springs
- Both springs replaced on two-spring systems
- Balance test and cable inspection
- Written warranty
