Garage door springs have a finite cycle life — typically 10,000-15,000 cycles. Over time, the metal fatigues and eventually snaps. Florida's humidity can accelerate this.

We strongly recommend against DIY spring replacement. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.

Typically 45 minutes to an hour. Our technician weighs the door and custom-cuts the spring from coil stock on the truck for a precise fit.

Yes — when one spring breaks, it tells us both are at the same point in their life cycle. Replacing both prevents a second failure.

It's not the weight of what you store that wears the spring — it's the number of open-and-close cycles. A standard torsion spring is rated for roughly 10,000 cycles. A household that runs the door six or eight times a day reaches that threshold faster than one that cycles it twice. Heavy items stored inside the garage don't affect the spring unless they're physically attached to the door itself. We match the spring to the door's measured weight, which accounts for the panels, insulation, hardware, and any struts — not the contents of the garage.

Oil-tempered steel holds its designed tension longer and needs fewer adjustments over the life of the spring. Galvanized wire goes through an extra high-heat cycle during manufacturing to apply the zinc coating, and that heat weakens the underlying steel — tension drifts sooner, the door becomes unbalanced sooner, and the opener works harder than it should. We coat and lubricate every spring after installation with a Teflon-based lubricant, so it's protected without needing the zinc layer.
