What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Garage door springs break primarily due to wear and tear from regular use. Most springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close). Other factors that contribute to spring failure include: rust and corrosion from humidity, lack of proper lubrication, extreme temperature fluctuations, poor quality springs, and improper spring tension. We recommend regular maintenance to extend spring life and catch potential issues before they cause complete failure.

Our Willamette Valley climate creates specific problems for garage doors. Winter rains bring moisture that rusts springs and corrodes cables faster than in drier regions. Springs typically last 7 to 9 years here, not the 10 years manufacturers advertise for dryer climates. Openers work harder in humid conditions, and wooden doors swell during wet months, causing binding and uneven wear on hardware.
