How often should I have my garage door springs inspected?
We recommend having your garage door springs serviced at least once a year to ensure they are functioning correctly and to prevent potential issues.
When properly installed, your springs can last approximately 10,000 cycles. One cycle includes both the opening and closing of the door. Technically speaking, your springs should last between 7 and 10 years. However, this depends on how often you use your garage door.
What causes garage door springs to break?
Garage door springs can wear out due to normal usage over time, improper installation, or lack of maintenance. Regular inspections can help identify issues before they become major problems.
Can I repair my garage door springs myself?
Garage door springs are under immense tension — they’re designed to counterbalance the entire weight of your garage door, which can weigh anywhere from 150 to over 400 pounds. That tension is necessary for smooth operation, but it also makes the springs incredibly dangerous if handled incorrectly.
That’s why garage door spring repairs are never a DIY project. Trust professionals like Suburban Overhead Doors — we have the tools, training, and experience to safely handle any spring replacement, keeping your family and property safe.

You can count on our precision door service to get your overhead door working again!
We recommend having your garage door serviced at least once a year. Our preventative maintenance includes lubricating the door’s moving parts, tightening nuts and screws, and regulating the spring tension.
This will ensure that your garage door is fully functional all year round! Having your door serviced regularly will also help to identify and address any potential issues, allowing you to nip the problem in the bud before it gets worse.
The most frequent cause of overhead doors that slam or are hard to close is a damaged, dysfunctional, or defective garage door spring.
Springs support the weight of your overhead door and produce adequate tension to allow for controlled descent. However, only strong, well-maintained components may create such tension. Our team will perform a quick garage door repair to get your door working as it should once more.
Before we arrive to install your new garage door, there are a few things you should do in preparation.
First, you should move your car away from the door before any garage door repairs or installations. Then, we recommend cleaning up the garage floor and putting your children and pets in a safe place so they aren’t at risk of injury during the garage door installation.
