How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?
If your garage door system has worn-out or broken springs, there’s an accident waiting to happen. Most garage door springs have a lifespan of about 15,000 cycles. On average, 15,000 cycles translates to normal operation for a period of 3 to 7 years.
"Customer Service that is impossible to find these days, still exists! I realized this after working with Legacy Garage Door. They were friendly, patient and helpful. We received next day service and great follow up. I highly recommend Legacy Garage Door for all your applicable needs!"
If your garage door has extension springs, we do not recommend attempting to repair or replace them yourself. Extension springs not only wear down more quickly than torsion springs, but they also can become dangerous projectiles if they are mishandled.

Standard Torsion Spring Replacement
At Legacy Garage Doors, we pride ourselves in the variety of services we offer to our customers. Not only do we often offer same-day services with project completion on time and within budget, but we offer a wide variety of products to meet your needs. Whether you need repairs or new installation, our services can meet your needs.
Torsion springs are our first choice for new garage door installations or replacements. Torsion springs, unlike extension springs, are a safer, stronger, and more durable alternative for a number of reasons. They’re installed above the garage door for better lifting action. They also don’t require a safety cable like extension springs do. Plus, they last much longer and are therefore more cost-effective than extension springs.
For people who are interested in torsion springs, we offer standard springs (10,000 to 15,000 cycles) and high cycle springs (50,000+ cycles).
Spring Replacement Process
When the garage door professionals at Legacy Garage Doors replace or repair your springs, we run through a number of checks to test the tension of the springs. We then adjust the tension to the weight of the garage door with a balance test. We ensure that the spring can accommodate the load and lift of your garage door for the long run. That way, you can rely on your garage door to open when you need it to open, close when you need it to close, and run smoothly every day.
How To Extend the Life of Your Garage Door Springs
Be careful not to add weight to the garage door. Adding a coat of paint, a layer of insulation, or glass overhead sections can throw off the balance of your garage door resulting in more stress on your springs.
