What Shortens Spring Life
- Frequent daily cycling
- Poor door balance
- Corrosion or wear
- A door that is heavier than the spring system is designed to counterbalance
Signs a Spring May Be Failing
Changes in door balance, unusual noises, a heavy-feeling door, or a visible spring gap can indicate a problem.
Do Not Adjust High-Tension Springs Yourself
Spring inspection is one thing; winding or replacing a high-tension spring is another. Professional service is the safer path for most homeowners.
