How long do garage door springs last, and when should they be replaced?

Standard garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close), which typically translates to 7-10 years for an average household. Warning signs that springs need replacement include the door feeling heavier, visible gaps in the spring coils, the door not staying open, or a loud bang (indicating a broken spring). We recommend replacing springs proactively before they fail completely, and always replacing both springs at the same time even if only one is broken.

We offer 24/7 emergency repair services for urgent situations like a door that won't close, broken springs preventing access, or security concerns. Our technicians are equipped to handle emergency calls and can often arrive within a few hours. Call us anytime at 541-325-8315 for emergency service.

Salem's housing stock ranges from historic Craftsman homes near downtown to newer developments in South Salem and Keizer Station area neighborhoods. Older homes often have original garage doors that weren't built for today's daily use cycles, while newer construction typically includes builder-grade components that wear out faster than homeowners expect. The variety means we see everything from single-car wooden doors to modern insulated steel double-car units.

Weather plays a bigger role than most Salem homeowners realize. Our wet winters cause rust on springs, cables, and rollers. Morning fog adds moisture that accelerates wear on metal components. Springs typically last 7 to 9 years here, not the 10 years manufacturers claim, because of our humidity levels. We also see seal damage from temperature swings between rainy winter days and hot summer afternoons.
