What causes broken springs in garage doors?
Garage door springs break primarily due to wear and tear from regular use. Most springs are rated for 10,000-15,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close), which translates to about 7-10 years of normal use. Other factors that contribute to spring failure include: temperature fluctuations (metal expands and contracts), rust and corrosion from humidity, lack of regular maintenance and lubrication, improper spring tension or incorrect spring size, and excessive door weight from damaged panels or poor installation. Regular maintenance can extend spring life significantly.
