What Are Garage Door Springs & Why Do They Break?
Your garage door springs do the heavy lifting every time you open or close the door. They hold the tension needed to counterbalance the weight of the door, making it easy to lift manually or with an opener. There are two types:
Torsion Springs – Located above the door, they wind and unwind to control movement.
Extension Springs – Found on the sides, they stretch and contract as the door moves.
Over time, wear and tear take their toll. Most springs last around 10,000 cycles (one cycle = opening and closing once). That sounds like a lot, but it adds up fast if you use your garage door multiple times a day. Rust, poor maintenance, and the humid coastal weather we experience in Florida can also weaken springs, leading to sudden failure.
Signs Your Garage Door Spring is Failing
A failing or broken spring isn’t always obvious. Look for these warning signs:
Your garage door won’t open or struggles to lift
You heard a loud bang from the garage—this could be a spring snapping
The door feels heavy when you try to lift it manually
The door opens unevenly or slams shut
You see a visible gap in the torsion spring
If your garage door's spring is broken, stop using the door immediately. Trying to force it open can cause serious injury or damage to your garage door system.

STOP! Leave it to the Professionals
It’s very dangerous to attempt to open a garage that has a broken spring. Most steel double car garage doors weigh more than a couple hundred pounds, with wood and hurricane doors weighing significantly more. Minor mistakes can cause serious harm when you’re moving an object that size. Contact us today and one of our skilled technicians will get the job done safely and quickly.

Long Lasting High-Cycle Galvanized Springs
Garage door springs come in many grades of quality. Duke's Garage Doors carries high-cycle galvanized springs to provide the longest life of any spring available.
- Galvanized: We chose galvanized springs to resist rust because (unlike all other coatings), it is the only corrosion protection applied before the spring is wound, guaranteeing all metal surfaces are protected, not just the surfaces you can see.
- High-Cycle: High-cycle springs are larger in diameter, have a heavier wire gauge, and are longer than “standard-cycle” springs. Standard springs are rated for 10,000 cycles, whereas our springs are rated for 50,000 cycles (open and close is one cycle). The average family uses the door three to six cycles per day, meaning you could expect 30+ years of service from our springs. The larger size puts less strain on the spring as it works, providing an average of five times more life than our competitors.
Don’t be fooled by the companies that tell you on the phone that their spring has a lifetime warranty. Many factors contribute to spring life, including the condition of other door parts, maintenance, amount of use, etc. Any company that is offering a lifetime warranty without even looking at your garage door is likely not going to be around long enough to honor it.

Trey and Matt are very professional and thorough and stepped me through the process and provided several options to help me with decision making. Once the work was completed they walked me through what was done and ensured everything was working before leaving. They did a great job!
I was very pleased with the work performed today on my garage door! The techs (Brandon and Trey) were very professional, explained the whole job to me and gave me a fair price. I highly recommend this company!
Luke came to do our install. He was honest, quick and hard working. He switched out both of our doors to belt driven, they are so quiet. The difference is unbelievable. Luke gave a full tutorial on the system and said if we had any questions he would be happy to come back to help. I highly recommend this company. Ask for Luke.
