It’s best to check your garage door springs often for signs that they are getting old. The springs may be the cause of your door not opening easily when you try to open it by hand. There’s a good chance that the motor won’t be able to open the door either. Keep an ear out for creaking sounds, which means there is a problem.
Because a garage door is opened and closed so often, the springs wear out over time. You should change the springs as soon as this wear is clear. The expected life span is around ten years, but this will vary depending on how often you use your garage door. You might want to get new springs if yours are this old or even older.
Do not try to change the springs on your own garage door. You might hurt yourself or irreparably damage your garage door. You can be sure that the job will be done right the first time if you hire professionals, such as our garage door team from Door Pro America. In the long run, working with us will likely save you time, money, and stress.
