What Makes Garage Door Springs Important?

Whenever you open or close your garage door, take a look at how each component works together. Garage doors operate on a pulley system, and the springs carry the entire weight of the door each time it opens and closes. Garage door spring replacement is our most popular overhead door repair service for a reason! Although you have your automated garage door opener and its motor, nothing will operate how it’s supposed to without healthy, working springs. 

Extension Springs Vs. Torsion Springs: What’s the Difference?

Two types of springs are used with garage doors: extension springs and torsion springs. Both types of springs use tension and stored energy to help balance the garage door, enabling safe and smooth door operation. 

Extension springs expand and contract while torsion springs wind around a metal shaft. Extension springs are also less expensive and last seven to 12 years, making them a viable option for any garage door owner. Torsion springs are more popular among homeowners and can last eight to 15 years. 

What Are the Signs That I Need Garage Door Spring Repair?

If you notice the following, you likely need a repair:

  • Your garage door won’t open or close.
  • Your garage door is heavy when you try to open it manually.
  • There are loose or fallen garage door cables.
  • Your garage door opens halfway and stops. 
  • Your garage door slams shut.
  • Your garage door moves at an angle.
  • Your garage door moves a couple of inches before reversing.
  • Your garage door springs are elongated.
  • There’s a three- to four-inch gap between the spring’s coils.
  • There are grinding noises when the garage door is in operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only One of My Springs Broke. Should I Replace Both Springs or Just the Broken One?

In our experience, if one of your garage door springs is rusted, stretched out, or broken, its partner is most likely not in good shape either. It’s best to replace both garage door springs at once to save time and money. This will also ensure the new garage door spring isn’t overcompensating for the old spring that can’t pull its weight!

What is the Difference Between DIY Spring Repair and Professional Garage Door Spring Repair?

The main difference between a DIY repair and a professional garage door spring repair is that a trained and experienced technician knows all the ins and outs of completing the repair safely and thoroughly. With Fawley Overhead Door, Inc., you don’t have to worry about:

– Losing time and money
– Not having the right tools
– The door’s weight overpowering you
– Causing more damage to other parts

Save yourself the hassle, and reserve all garage door repairs to the professionals.

Our FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What is the Life Expectancy of a Garage Door?

    The average life expectancy of a garage door is 15-30 years. To help extend this lifespan, we recommend scheduling annual garage door maintenance. This keeps your garage door parts running more smoothly, delaying the need for repairs or replacement. You can also wash and repaint your garage door exterior periodically to get the longest possible lifespan out of your garage door.

  • What Causes Garage Doors to Break?

    The two main causes of a broken garage door are lack of maintenance and accidents with vehicles. The most important garage door maintenance steps include lubricating the rollers, bearings, pulleys, and springs once a year and making proper adjustments to the counterbalance system to maintain the door’s balance. If an accident happens with your garage door, it’s important to call quickly for repairs. We offer same-day garage door service near Portage & Kalamazoo, MI!

  • How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

    The average spring breaks after 7 to 12 years with typical usage, lasting 10-15,000 cycles, depending on the type of spring. A “cycle” is one full opening and closing of the door. If a garage door has two or more springs and one breaks, then you should have all the springs replaced to maintain proper balance. Be sure to check our Garage Door Spring Repair page for more information.

  • What Garage Door Maintenance Do You Recommend?

    Although you should always let a certified professional take care of major garage door repairs, there are some garage door maintenance steps you can take.

    – Lubricate your garage or overhead door track every six months using a silicone-based lubricant.
    – Clean the weather stripping with vinyl cleaner and lubricate it every few months.
    – Monitor your garage door operation, listening for unusual noises or movements that could indicate a problem.
    – If you have a painted door, periodically repaint the exterior to help protect it from weathering and update the look of your home.
