Torsion Springs vs. Extension Springs

Torsion springs mount horizontally above the door opening and use torque to lift the door. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side and stretch to create lifting force. Both types can fail without warning and require professional replacement. Attempting a DIY spring repair on a door under tension can cause serious injury.

How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

Springs typically last around 10,000 cycles, roughly 7 to 10 years for the average household. Michigan winters and damp conditions can accelerate corrosion. Watch for these warning signs:


▸The door opens a few inches and stops.

▸You hear a sharp bang from the garage, especially on cold mornings.

▸The door feels far heavier than usual when lifted manually.

▸Visible gaps, rust, or deformity appear along the spring coil.
