Tension on this torsion spring finally gave out, the kind of wear you can’t always see until the door starts acting off. We got out to this Baltimore home, swapped in a new spring sized to match the door’s weight, and made sure everything was balanced before calling it done.
Torsion springs are rated for a certain number of cycles, usually somewhere around 10,000. Once a spring gets close to that number, it’s only a matter of time, and when it finally breaks, it tends to happen without much warning.
If your door is getting harder to lift by hand, or the opener sounds like it’s working overtime, that spring is probably close to the end of its life.
