Garage door spring replacement in St Neots: common questions
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.
Torsion or tension: which does my door have?
Look above the opening. A steel shaft running across the head of the door with one or two coiled springs on it means torsion springs. If the springs run front to back beside the horizontal tracks, or sit in the vertical side frames, the door uses tension springs. Many standard domestic doors use tension springs; larger, heavier and timber doors and doors with a pass door usually use torsion springs.
