How Often Should I Replace My Garage Door Spring?

If you have had a garage door spring break in the past, you might be wondering if you should have replaced the spring earlier to avoid the hassle of dealing with a broken spring.  Typically, you do not need to replace a garage door spring unless it is broken.

Most garage door springs should last about 5 years, so, if you are planning on living in the same home for longer than 5 years it may be worth your while to purchase an extended life garage door spring.  These springs cost twice as much as the standard springs but they have been known to last about four times as long.  The basic garage door spring should last for 10,000 to 15,000 cycles while the extended life spring can last for 100,000 cycles. 

Because standard torsion garage door springs are under a lot of pressure, it is safest not to try to replace or install them on your own.  A Tucson garage door repair specialist can assist you in fixing your broken garage door spring or a complete new garage spring installation.   Any experienced Arizona garage door repair company  will be able to answer your questions regarding the specific type of garage door spring that you need for your home and will be able to safely install the new spring.
