Why Garage Door Springs Break in Winter

Garage door springs don't fail because it's winter. They fail because they wear out. But cold weather is often what finishes off a spring that's already near the end of its life, which is why so many springs snap on the first cold mornings of the year. Here's why:

  • Cold steel is less forgiving. Springs are tightly wound steel. On a freezing morning the metal contracts and loses some flexibility, so a worn spring is more likely to crack under load.
  • Big temperature swings add stress. Atlanta winter mornings regularly start in the 30s, sometimes the 20s, and can warm up 20 degrees or more by afternoon, so springs expand and contract day after day.
  • Grease thickens in the cold. Stiff lubricant makes hinges, rollers and bearings drag, so the springs and opener work harder to move the door.
  • Moisture leads to rust. Georgia humidity and winter rain can rust springs, which adds friction between the coils and weakens the steel.
  • The door gets more use. Holiday shopping, visiting family and kids home from school add open-and-close cycles fast.

7 Reasons to Replace Your Springs Before They Snap

  1. Don't get stuck. A broken spring can trap your car in the garage on a cold morning, right when you need to get to work or school.
  2. Springs have a limited lifespan. Standard springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles, which is roughly 7 years if you use the door about four times a day.
  3. When one breaks, the other is close behind. Both springs on a two-spring door have done the same work. Replacing them together keeps the door balanced and saves you a second service call.
  4. Protect your opener. Your opener is designed to move a balanced door, not lift its full weight. Weak springs make the motor and gears strain, which can lead to costly opener repairs.
  5. Safety. A two-car garage door often weighs 100 to 200 pounds or more. When a spring fails, the door can become dangerously heavy and drop fast.
  6. Security. A door stuck open, or one that won't close all the way, leaves your home exposed.
  7. Fix it on your schedule. Replacing springs at the sale price beats an urgent call on the coldest morning of the year.

Warning Signs Your Springs Are Wearing Out

  • A loud bang from the garage (often a spring snapping)
  • A visible gap in the spring above the door
  • The door feels heavy or drops when lifted by hand
  • The opener strains, or the door lifts a few inches and stops
  • The door rises unevenly or looks crooked
  • Loose or frayed cables
  • Squeaking, grinding or jerky movement

If you think a spring is broken, don't try to lift the door or keep pressing the opener button. Keep kids and pets clear and give us a call.

Why We Replace Both Springs

Most two-car garage doors use two torsion springs that share the load. They're installed together and do the same number of cycles, so when one breaks, the other usually isn't far behind. Replacing them as a pair keeps your door balanced, takes strain off your opener and saves you a second service call down the road. That's exactly what the Winter Spring Sale covers.

Serving Metro Atlanta

The Winter Spring Sale is available to homeowners throughout our service area, including Marietta, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Chamblee and Decatur.

Frequently Asked Questions

It covers replacing both springs on a standard residential two-spring torsion system: two new springs sized to your door, installation, removal of the old springs, door balancing, lubrication and a multi-point safety inspection.

Cold temperatures make steel springs less flexible and thicken the grease on moving parts, so worn springs work harder and are more likely to snap. Most springs that break in winter were already near the end of their rated life.

Yes. Both springs have the same amount of wear. Replacing them together keeps your door balanced and usually saves you a second service call.

Standard springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 cycles, roughly 7 years at four cycles a day. Higher-cycle springs can last longer.

It's not recommended. Without spring tension, the door is very heavy and can fall. Don't run the opener either, since it can damage the motor and gears. Call a technician.

No. This price is for two-spring torsion systems. If your door has extension springs, ask us about converting to a torsion system.
