Unlocking the Secret Weight of Your Garage Door: Torsion Springs and Signs of Trouble

A few signs that your garage door spring is broken.

Most of these issues are due to your torsion spring being broken. Torsions springs are a wear item and they all eventually wear out over continued use.


Discover the Hidden Weight:

  Your garage door is a silent heavyweight, and chances are, you've never given its impressive mass much thought. A typical double car garage door can tip the scales at over 200 pounds. How is it that you can effortlessly lift it with your hand or operate it seamlessly with your garage door opener? The answer lies in the ingenious use of torsion springs.



The Role of Torsion Springs:

  Torsion springs are the unsung heroes of your garage door, working tirelessly to counterbalance the weight and transform it into something manageable. With a typical life cycle of around 10,000 cycles, these springs provide reliable support for your garage door's smooth operation. However, their longevity is not limitless and can be affected by how you use your garage door.


Life Cycle and Usage Patterns:

  Under normal conditions, torsion springs last between 10 to 15 years. Yet, if you treat your garage door like a front door, subjecting it to frequent use, the life span can be cut short to less than 7 years. The consequences of neglecting these vital components become apparent when the torsion springs eventually fail.


Signs of Torsion Spring Failure:

Recognizing the signs of a failing torsion spring is crucial. Look out for a gap in the torsion spring, loose cables, or cables wrapped around the drum. If your garage door suddenly feels excessively heavy to lift by hand, it's a clear indication that the torsion springs may be compromised.
