## Details

Springs do the heavy lifting on your garage door — when one snaps, the opener can't take the load. We replace springs in matched pairs (even if only one broke) so the door stays balanced and the second spring doesn't fail two months later. Ask about high-cycle springs if your door cycles 6+ times a day.

## FAQs

### Why replace both springs if only one broke?
Springs wear at the same rate. If one fails, the other is close behind — replacing both costs less labor than two separate visits and keeps the door balanced.

### How long do garage door springs last?
Standard springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles (about 7 years for an average household). High-cycle springs go to 25,000+ cycles.

### Can I replace a spring myself?
We don't recommend it. Garage door springs hold hundreds of pounds of stored tension and DIY replacements cause serious injuries every year.
