Warning: Garage Door Springs Are Dangerous
Torsion springs are under 150-300 lbs of stored tension energy. A spring that releases suddenly or incorrectly can break bones, cause deep lacerations, or destroy property. Every year, people are seriously injured attempting this repair. Please call a professional. It is not worth the risk.
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Torsion Springs
Most common on modern garage doors. Mounted horizontally above the door opening on a metal shaft. When the door opens, the spring unwinds and transfers torque to the cables. More efficient, longer-lasting, and safer than extension springs. Oil-tempered wire in .225 to .262 gauge. Standard 1-3/4 inch or 2 inch inside diameter. Mounted on a 7-foot shaft above the door.

- ✓Single spring on most 1-car doors
- ✓Two springs on most 2-car doors

Extension Springs
Found on older homes and lower-clearance garages. Run horizontally along the upper tracks on either side of the door. They extend (stretch) when the door closes and contract when it opens. Rated for 10,000 cycles standard. Should always have safety cables installed to prevent whip if the spring breaks.

If one spring breaks, the other has equal wear time and will likely fail within weeks or months. Replacing both costs the same labor as replacing one, and saves you another service call. We use high-cycle springs rated for 20,000+ cycles, double the life of standard springs.
How Oklahoma Weather Affects Garage Door Springs
Oklahoma's extreme temperature swings are hard on garage door springs. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees in Edmond, causing metal expansion that increases stress on torsion springs. Winter ice storms and sub-freezing temperatures cause the opposite: metal contracts and becomes brittle.
This thermal cycling accelerates metal fatigue. Where a spring might last 10 years in a moderate climate, Edmond homeowners should expect closer to 7 years of life from standard 10,000-cycle springs. That is why we install 20,000-cycle oil-tempered springs as our standard. They cost slightly more upfront but last significantly longer in Oklahoma conditions.
We also recommend a spring tension check twice per year in Edmond. Once in late spring after the last freeze, and once in early fall before winter sets in. Our maintenance tune-up includes spring tension adjustment as part of a full 20-point inspection.
