Life Expectancy of Garage Door Springs
Broken or worn springs can prevent your garage door from opening properly. Common signs include a loud bang when the spring breaks, a door that feels heavy or won’t move, and a visible gap in the spring. If you notice any of these issues, professional spring replacement is recommended.
Extension springs should expand and contract evenly as the garage door opens and closes. If the springs appear stretched out, misshapen, uneven, or broken, they are no longer functioning properly and should be replaced.
The Cycle of Life
A Few More Things About Springs
- Springs don’t wear out by years, they wear out by cycles. Every open-and-close adds up.
- Springs should be replaced in pairs. If one breaks, the other is likely close behind, since both are rated for the same number of cycles.
- Replacing both springs ensures smooth, balanced operation and helps you avoid an extra service visit.
- Our technicians properly size your springs, so your door operates safely and efficiently.

Important:
DASMA (Door and Access Manufacturer Association) emphasizes that garage door spring replacement is extremely dangerous due to high tension often causing severe injuries or death, and should always be done by a trained professional using proper tools and safety gear, as DIY attempts risk catastrophic failure. Key safety steps include disconnecting power, using correct winding bars, wearing safety glasses, and never operating the door with a broken spring, but professionals are crucial for correctly handling the immense force involved, especially with extension springs or if replacing both.

Broken Springs FAQs
If the door won’t open fully and only lifts an inch or two, look above the door at the spring bar. A visible gap in the coil usually means the spring has snapped.
Garage door springs are wound very tight, meaning they are under a lot of tension and can be very dangerous if touched or maneuvered. A trained technician is the best person for the job because the working knowledge of the spring, door weight, and garage door parts are essential. Also consider that often times when one spring breaks, the second is not too far behind – by investing in a double spring replacement you will save yourself a service trip and money in the long run.
This will vary based on the type of spring you need and the weight of your garage door. At Banko, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden costs – and that means no surprises when you contact us for garage door spring replacement.
