What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and work hard every time you open and close your door. Understanding what causes them to break can help you extend their life and know when replacement might be needed. The most common cause of spring failure is simply age and use. Standard springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles. Connecticut's dramatic temperature swings also stress springs significantly—cold weather causes metal to contract and become more brittle. Moisture can cause springs to rust, weakening the metal and creating friction points. Springs that aren't regularly lubricated and inspected can fail prematurely. If your garage door isn't properly balanced, springs work harder on one side, causing uneven wear. Warning signs include: door feels heavier than usual, visible gaps in spring coils, rust or corrosion, squeaking or grinding noises, and door doesn't stay open when lifted halfway.
