The heavier the garage door more danger its springs carry. The springs need to carry the weight of the door and at the same time be able to contract back when the door is lift up. Therefore, springs take in a lot of tension and if they don’t work correctly or are worn out, could pose a huge danger to the owner as well as his belongings. Replacing them should happen on a regular basis. This will ensure safety and take out the extra costs that will be produced if the spring is able to fail.
Garage door spring replacement can happen on two occasions. The first is when the spring actually breaks and the door doesn’t work anymore. In this case, replacement is essential and unavoidable. The second takes place when the springs are worn out. It is usually easy to notice that the springs are having problems. It is best not to take chances and wait for the spring to break before the replacement is done. The damage caused can be worth much more than the replacement.
Sometimes, only one of the two springs on the garage door need replacement. If it is the case, then it is still best to go for the double swap. The springs are likely to have been installed at the same time, so when only one of them has visible defects, it is possible that the other is suffering something similar too. Besides, it avoids the risk of the spring breaking after a certain period of time.
