A broken garage door spring can be frustrating. Your door might get stuck, make loud noises, or refuse to open at all. Springs play a big role in lifting the heavy door, and when they fail, your garage door won’t work properly.
At Mann Garage Door Services, we specialize in garage door spring replacement. In this post, we’ll explain why springs break, how to spot the signs, and how we can help.
Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?
Here are some common reasons:
1. Normal Wear and Tear
Garage door springs have a limited lifespan. Most last about 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close). If you use your garage door daily, the springs can wear out in 7-10 years.
2. Rust and Corrosion
Rust weakens metal springs. It makes them more fragile, increasing the risk of snapping. Regular lubrication helps prevent this.
3. Lack of Maintenance
If springs are not checked or lubricated, they wear out faster. Proper care extends their life and prevents sudden failure.
4. Cold Weather
Extreme cold makes metal brittle. This increases the chance of springs breaking, especially if they are already weak.
