Why Garage Door Springs Breakdown

Have you ever pulled into your driveway after an exhausting day at the workplace
just to discover that your overhead door does not open when you hit the button?
Yes, this is not a fun thing at all, especially when you’ve no idea what went wrong.
When your overhead doors stop functioning it’s likely because of the spring
breaking – an absolutely common problem that’s easy to have fixed professionally.
Your garage door spring can break down for different reasons. Mentioned below
are a few:
Wear and Tear:
This is perhaps the number one reason why overhead door spring malfunction.
The typical torsion spring will last for nearly 10,000 cycles. A cycle complete when
the door goes up & then come down. Even if you were to just leave & come back
once all through the day, that still equals to 2 cycles per day. That being said an
overhead door spring would simply last for a little more than 13.5 years. However,
a lot of people open & close their garage doors several times all through the day,
running many cycles, reducing that lifetime to far less than 13.5 years. It’s even
feasible to go through 10,000 cycles in about a year.
