Monument Garage Door Spring Repair
Most garage door springs last seven to ten years or 10,000 cycles, which represents one opening and closing of the overhead door. If heavy usage occurs, you may need garage door spring repair more frequently. However, with regular maintenance, some springs can last twelve years or more.
These springs handle the door’s heavy lifting and make opening it easier by counteracting the effects of gravity on the door. They also serve as a safety mechanism to prevent the door from falling suddenly.
Our company garage door spring repair service includes extension springs and torsion springs. Most spring issues develop slowly, although they can break suddenly, causing safety concerns. Homeowners should not attempt to replace springs, as mishandling the door’s pre-load can cause serious injury.
Most springs break due to wear and tear. However, other factors can also cause springs to fail. Cold weather makes springs brittle and prone to breakage. Neglecting preventive maintenance, where a professional checks and lubricates all moving parts, contributes to deterioration.
Proactively replacing garage door springs based on usage and preventive maintenance prolongs the life of your overhead garage door and ultimately saves you money.
