How often do garage door springs typically need to be replaced?

This is highly dependent on the size of door, type of spring, and amount of usage. Some springs last 1 year while others can last 20+ years. Most of our customers purchase springs that have a life expectancy of 10-15 plus years.

Garage door springs are rated in cycles, with one cycle representing a complete opening and closing of the door. Frequent use can bring a spring to its expected cycle count sooner. Maintenance, moisture, and operating conditions also affect spring life, so the year ranges above are estimates rather than a guaranteed replacement timeline.
