The Garage Door Man has decades of experience working with garage door spring systems. Our well-trained technicians can inspect your system and easily determine if it needs repairs or a complete replacement. Obviously, if your springs have snapped they’ll need to be replaced; but there are other, less obvious, instances when a replacement is needed.
Garage Door Spring Basics
Garage door springs are designed to last for a certain number of cycles. A cycle is defined as the opening and closing of the garage door. Most springs are rated for 10,000 cycles, with some being rated as high as 60,000 cycles. The cables also have to be taken into consideration. These very important safety features can become worn or frayed. There are signs a trained professional can recognize that indicate a spring system is nearing the end of its useful – and safe – life.
When that point arrives, a replacement of the entire spring system is the only safe way to go. Garage door spring replacement should never be attempted by anyone but a qualified professional. These springs are under extreme tension, and if they suddenly snap in two or come free from their mounts, serious injury to property or life can result. Some garage door systems have two springs. It is necessary to replace both springs at the same time to ensure proper and smooth function of the garage door system.
Can I Do This Repair Myself?
This is NOT a DIY project, either! It cannot be stressed enough that the spring system should only be worked on by qualified professionals with the necessary tools and experience. In fact, many manufacturers won’t sell the necessary parts for these repairs to anyone but a qualified professional due to the possibility of injury to customers.
