What Causes Garage Door Springs to Break?

Garage door springs carry the heavy lifting of your entire door system. Over time, they wear out from repeated use. Most springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles, which means they can break without warning once they reach their maximum capacity.

Some common causes of broken garage door springs include:

Daily wear and tear

Rust or corrosion

Poor maintenance

Extreme temperature changes

Improper spring size or installation

If your door suddenly slams shut or won’t open at all, a broken spring is often the reason.

Torsion vs. Extension Springs: What We Replace

Different garage doors use different spring systems, and we handle them all.

Torsion Spring Replacement

Torsion springs are mounted above the door and use torque to lift the door. They're common in newer systems and offer better balance and durability. If you need torsion spring replacement, our team can match your exact size and weight requirements.

Extension Spring Repair

Older garage doors may use extension springs, which run along the sides of the door. These stretch as the door opens and closes. We offer complete extension spring repair and replacement, ensuring your door operates safely and evenly.

Which type do you have? No worries, our trained technicians will identify the system and provide the right solution.

How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

Knowing when to replace your springs can save you from unexpected breakdowns. Most garage door springs have a limited lifespan, typically around 10,000 cycles, which equates to about 7 to 10 years of daily use.

Several factors can shorten or extend your spring’s lifespan:

Frequency of use

More daily cycles mean faster wear.

Spring quality

Cheap springs break faster. We only use high-grade parts.

Climate

Extreme heat, cold, or humidity can weaken springs over time.

Maintenance habits

Regular lubrication and inspections can extend spring life.

At Ingenious Garage Doors, we don’t just perform broken spring replacement—we also help prevent future issues. If your garage door hasn’t been inspected in a while, now’s the perfect time to schedule a spring check-up before something breaks.
