Garage door spring replacement in Cheshunt: 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.
Why is spring work not DIY?
Springs store a lot of energy. Winding a torsion spring needs proper winding bars, and releasing tension carelessly can cause serious injury or let the door fall. Please do not attempt it.
