The Ultimate Guide To Garage Door Spring Repair
A garage door spring, crafted from high-tension steel, counterbalances the weight of the door, facilitating smooth manual or automatic operation. These springs, available in various use categories like '10,000-use' or '20,000-use,' may seem ample at first. However, considering the typical daily usage – opening and closing four to five times a day, every day, throughout the year – the high quantity levels are justified upon closer evaluation.
How do you know that you need a garage door spring repair?
* As a garage door ages, diminishing steel resiliency makes it heavier. Initially requiring just 10 pounds of force when springs are new, the force needed increases towards the end of their lifespan, nearly matching the door's weight.
The aging springs place additional strain on the garage door opener. An indication for spring repair is the sound of the electric opener struggling to lift the door.
Aging springs pose a risk of sudden breakage, causing significant damage. The break often produces a loud, gunshot-like sound when the spring, fully loaded, snaps. If a spring breaks, the door becomes exceptionally heavy to open manually, and the automatic garage door opener will fail to lift it.
