How Garage Door Springs Function
Garage door springs are essential for effortlessly lifting and holding your garage door open. Using stored tension, they counterbalance the door’s weight, making the operation smooth. When you activate the opener or manually close the door, the springs release tension, allowing the door to lower safely. Designed for durability, quality springs last approximately 5–7 years or about 10,000 open-and-close cycles.

The most common signs are:
Technically, yes, but it’s very dangerous. A standard 16×7 door can weigh 350–450 lbs without working springs. Never attempt to open it manually unless you disconnect the opener and have help. Call a professional immediately.
Most standard torsion springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open + one close). At 3–6 uses per day, that’s roughly 7–15 years. Extension springs usually last 5–7 years.
If you had two old springs of the same age, when one fails, the entire load transfers to the second spring, causing it to break almost immediately. This is why professionals almost always recommend replacing both springs at the same time.
Yes — most reputable companies offer warranties of 3–10 years on new torsion springs (depending on the cycle rating) and a 1-year labor warranty.
