Common Questions

Why did my spring break?

Garage door springs have a finite lifespan — typically 10,000 cycles (open/close). Most springs last 7–12 years with normal use. Florida's heat and humidity can accelerate wear.

Should I replace both springs at the same time?

Yes. If one spring breaks, the other is likely near the end of its life too. Replacing both at the same time saves you a second service call and keeps the door balanced.

Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?

Do not operate the opener or attempt to lift a door with a suspected broken spring. Keep people and pets away from the door and contact a qualified garage door technician.

How long does spring replacement take?

Most spring replacements take 1–2 hours. We carry all common spring sizes on our trucks, so there's rarely a delay for parts.
