Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?
Garage door springs are under constant tension, supporting the full weight of the door every time it opens and closes. Over time, they wear down due to:
-
Normal Wear & Tear
Most springs have a lifespan of 10,000-15,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close). Once they reach their limit, they break. -
Rust & Corrosion
Exposure to moisture can weaken the metal, making it more likely to snap. -
Temperature Changes
Extreme heat or cold can cause the metal to contract and expand, weakening the springs. -
Improper Maintenance
Lack of lubrication and routine checks can shorten the lifespan of your springs.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Broken Spring
A broken garage door spring compromises the entire system, making it unsafe to operate. If left unrepaired, it can lead to:
- Damage to the Garage Door Opener – Your motor will overwork itself trying to lift a door with no spring support.
- Additional Repairs & Costs – A broken spring can lead to cable issues, track misalignment, and roller damage.
- Safety Risks – Attempting to lift a heavy garage door manually or using an opener with a broken spring can cause injuries or property damage.

frequently asked questions
Can I open my garage door if the spring is broken?
It’s not recommended to open your garage door with a broken spring. The door will be extremely heavy, and forcing it open can cause further damage or injury. Call a professional for repair instead.
How long do garage door springs last?
Most springs last 7-10 years, depending on usage. If you open and close your garage door multiple times a day, the lifespan will be shorter.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
Garage door spring replacement is dangerous due to the high tension in the springs. A mistake can cause serious injury. It’s best to leave it to professionals with the right tools and expertise.
How much does it cost to replace a garage door spring?
The cost varies based on the spring type and size, but we offer affordable pricing and free estimates. Contact us for a quote!
What’s the difference between torsion and extension springs?
Torsion Springs are mounted above the garage door and provide smoother, more balanced operation. Extension Springs are located on the sides of the door and stretch to create tension. Most modern doors use torsion springs because they last longer and provide better control.
