What does a spring replacement involve in Thatcham?
How long do springs last?
Springs are rated in cycles, one open and one close. Several manufacturers rate their springs at about 25,000 cycles, while some standard springs are rated lower. In everyday use many springs need replacing after something like eight to twelve years, sooner on a door that opens many times a day.
How do I know a spring has broken?
You may hear a loud bang from the garage, then find the door heavy, opening only a little, or the motor straining. A broken torsion spring shows a visible gap in the coil. A failed tension spring may hang loose or be held by its safety device.
