What is the average life of a garage door spring?
On average, garage door springs are designed to last between 7 to 10 years, or roughly 10,000 to 15,000 cycles. This can be affected by usage frequency and the quality of the spring. Proper maintenance can help maximize their lifespan in Minnesota's climate.

How do I know if my garage door spring needs repair?
Look for signs like the door feeling very heavy, opening or closing unevenly, or making loud popping or snapping noises. If the door drops suddenly when you try to lift it manually, the spring is likely broken. Visible damage to the spring is also a clear indicator.
