Everett Garage Door Spring Repair

Garage door springs are important. However, due to the heavy workload they endure daily, they are prone to wear and tear over time. Different factors contribute to the gradual degradation and eventual damage of garage door springs:

Normal Wear and Tear: As with any mechanical component, garage door springs can experience wear with regular use. Every time you open or close the door, the springs stretch and contract, leading to gradual fatigue and weakening of the metal.
Cycle Limit: Garage door springs have a limited number of cycles they can perform before wearing out. The number of cycles depends on the type of spring (torsion or extension) and its quality. Once the cycle limit is reached, the springs are more likely to break.
Poor Maintenance: Lack of regular maintenance can accelerate spring deterioration. Failure to lubricate the springs, tracks, and other moving parts can increase friction, causing additional stress on the springs.
Rust and Corrosion: Exposure to moisture and environmental elements can cause rust and corrosion on the springs, weakening them and reducing their lifespan.
Imbalanced Garage Door: An imbalanced garage door places uneven stress on the springs. If the door is not properly balanced, one spring may wear out faster than the other, leading to premature failure.
Temperature Fluctuations: Extreme temperature changes can affect the metal properties of the springs, causing them to become brittle and prone to breaking.
DIY Repairs: Attempting to adjust or repair springs without proper knowledge and tools can lead to further damage and compromise the springs' integrity.
Excessive Weight: Garage doors have specific weight limits that the springs must support. If the door is too heavy or if additional weight is added without adjusting the springs, it can lead to stress and damage.
