What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Garage door springs break due to several factors, with the most common being simple wear and tear from regular use. Springs are rated for a specific number of cycles (one cycle = opening and closing once), typically 10,000 cycles for standard springs. Here are the main causes of spring failure: **Age and Use:** Most springs last 7-12 years with average use (2-4 cycles per day). Heavy usage shortens this lifespan significantly. **Rust and Corrosion:** New Hampshire's humid climate and winter salt exposure accelerate rust, which weakens springs over time. Annual lubrication helps prevent this. **Temperature Extremes:** Cold weather makes metal more brittle. Many springs break on the coldest days of winter when the metal is under maximum stress. **Poor Maintenance:** Springs that aren't regularly lubricated experience more friction and wear faster. **Improper Balance:** An unbalanced door puts uneven stress on springs, causing premature failure. **Wrong Spring Size:** Springs that are too small for your door work harder and fail sooner. To extend spring life, we recommend annual professional maintenance including inspection, lubrication, and balance adjustment.
