Common Issues with Garage Door Springs
Garage door springs handle a heavy load and wear down over time, eventually causing various issues.
Here are the most common problems:
- Wear and Tear: Garage door springs last around 10,000 cycles; once they reach this, they’re likely to snap, causing sudden door failure.
- Rust and Corrosion: Brisbane’s humid weather can cause rust, weakening springs and making them prone to break. Regular lubrication helps prevent this.
- Unbalanced Door: If one spring wears out faster, it creates an imbalance, straining the remaining spring.
- Improper Spring Type: Using the wrong spring type or incorrect installation affects balance and increases the risk of malfunction.
Resolving these problems promptly helps extend the life of your garage door and keeps it safe for daily use.

Tips to Extend the Life of Your Garage Door Springs
Extending the life of your garage door springs can save you from unexpected repairs and keep your door running smoothly. Here’s how:
- Regular Lubrication: Apply a high-quality lubricant to the springs every 3–4 months. This reduces friction, preventing rust and wear.
- Balance Checks: Test your garage door balance by disconnecting the opener and lifting the door halfway. If it doesn’t stay put, it may be unbalanced, straining the springs. An unbalanced door should be adjusted by a professional.
- Avoid Overuse: Limit opening and closing your door unnecessarily. Each cycle contributes to spring wear, so reducing use can help extend its life.
- Annual Inspections: Schedule a yearly inspection to catch wear early. A professional can check for tension, alignment, and any signs of rust or fatigue, ensuring reliable performance.
