8 Signs Your Garage Door May Need Spring Replacement

Here are some signs that indicate you may need a garage door spring replacement:

01

Visible Wear and Tear

If you notice visible signs of wear and tear on the springs, such as gaps or elongation, it's a clear sign that they need replacement.

02

Difficulty Opening or Closing

If your garage door is struggling to open or close smoothly, it could be due to worn-out or broken springs.

03

Uneven Movement:

If one side of the garage door seems to move faster or slower than the other, or if it appears lopsided when opening or closing, it could be a sign of spring issues.

04

Loud Noises

A garage door with worn-out springs may produce loud creaking, popping, or snapping noises when opening or closing.

05

Visible Damage

Inspect the springs for any visible damage, such as rust, corrosion, or gaps.

06

Sudden Failure

If the garage door suddenly drops or closes too quickly, it's a sign of spring failure and poses a safety hazard.

07

Age of the Springs

Most garage door springs have a lifespan of about 7-9 years with regular use. If your springs are approaching or surpassing this age range, it's wise to consider replacement even if they haven't shown obvious signs of damage.

08

Broken Springs

The most obvious sign that you need a replacement is if one or both of the springs are broken. A broken spring will often result in the door being unable to open at all or only opening a few inches before stopping.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to address them promptly to prevent further damage to your garage door system and ensure the safety of yourself and your property. It’s recommended to hire a professional garage door technician to inspect and replace the springs, as handling garage door springs can be dangerous due to the high tension they’re under.
