Garage door springs are exceptionally important when it comes to the efficient operation of your doors. Their amazing supporting power also plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and security of your system. No matter what kind of door you are working with, there is never a good reason to neglect the condition of your springs.

Healthy Springs are Safe Springs

The springs carry a lot of tension as a part of their job. This tension carried in their coils is used to open the door in a safe and balanced way, and make sure it will slowly close back. Now, cracked, rusty, damaged or simply old springs are in danger of snapping at any moment. When they snap, it is highly dangerous to be around them. There are, however, safety cables to hold them in place, making sure the broken spring will hurt no one.

Knowing when it’s time to replace a spring is fairly easy. If your current ones are rusted, worn or have started showing signs of stress such as cracks, then there is a good chance they are due to fail soon, and should be replaced accordingly. You can also tell by their remaining life cycle. Most springs have a certain number of cycles, one cycle includes one opening and closing. You can pretty much calculate how much you are left if you are using your door regularly and make sure to keep it maintained.

Even when you only have one broken spring and another working one, it is not a good idea to have the remaining one do the work that should be done by the pair. Forcing one spring to do the job of two will lead it to overcompensate. This means the door won’t operate at it should, and furthermore, could lead to a dangerous accident should the remaining one fail.
