Garage door springs/Cables
Garage doors generally use either an extension spring or a lift torsion spring to or counter balance the weight of your overhead door. Torsion springs offer the best life expectancy. The life expectancy on most garage door springs is a calculated based on cycles. A cycle is one opening and closing of the garage door. Torsion spring life expectancy and the lift properties are determined by three things: the overall length of the spring, the wire Gage/thickness, and the diameter of the spring. The general life expectancy of a garage door spring is typically 5,000-10,000 cycles. Calculated at an average of 2 cycles per day, it works out to just over 13 years. While that is the average, we usually tell people to expect 8-10 years on any given garage door spring that are commercially available in the industry.
