What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and will eventually wear out over time. Here are the most common causes of broken springs: 1. **Normal Wear and Tear**: Most springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close). For a typical household, this translates to 7-10 years of use. 2. **Rust and Corrosion**: Coastal areas like ours expose springs to salt air, which accelerates corrosion. Regular lubrication can help prevent this. 3. **Poor Maintenance**: Springs that aren't regularly lubricated work harder and wear out faster. 4. **Cold Weather**: Metal contracts in cold weather, putting additional stress on springs. Many springs break during winter months. 5. **Manufacturing Defects**: Occasionally, springs have defects that cause premature failure. We recommend annual maintenance inspections to catch signs of spring wear before they break, potentially saving you from an emergency situation.

How long does a typical garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours for a single door and 6-8 hours for a double door. However, several factors can affect the timeline: - **Removal of old door**: Add 1-2 hours if we're replacing an existing door - **Electrical work**: If your opener needs new wiring, this adds time - **Structural modifications**: Custom sizing or opening modifications take longer - **Weather conditions**: Extreme temperatures may slow installation We always provide a detailed timeline estimate during your consultation. Our goal is to complete every installation in a single day so you can enjoy your new door immediately.
