πͺ Quick garage door math most homeowners have never done:
Your garage door springs are rated in "cycles" β one cycle = one open + one close. Most builder-grade springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles.
Sounds like a lot, right? Let's do the math:
πΉ Open and close your door 4 times a day β springs last about 7 years
πΉ Busy household using it 8+ times a day β could be worn out in 3-4 years
And here's the kicker: your garage door is likely the heaviest moving object in your home β often 150+ lbs β and those springs are doing almost ALL the lifting. When one snaps (and it will, usually at the worst possible time), your door isn't going anywhere.
The good news? A trained tech can spot a spring near the end of its life BEFORE it fails. Gaps in the coil, stretching, rust, and a door that feels heavier than it used to are all warning signs.
That's exactly what we check during our $69 garage door tune-up β springs, cables, rollers, opener, balance, all of it. Cheap insurance compared to getting stuck with a dead door on a Monday morning.
