4 Most Common Cause of Garage Door Spring
Breakdown

• Have you ever pulled into your driveway after a
  tiresome day at the workplace only to discover
  that your garage door does not open when you push
  the button? Well, this is not what you want to
  face!
• When your overhead door stops functioning its
  probably because of the spring breaking an
  absolutely common problem thats easy to get
  fixed by garage door experts. The torsion spring
  can breakdown for many reasons. Listed below are
  a few of them.
• Regular wear tear
• This is the foremost reason why springs of garage
  door fail or break! A properly installed spring
  can last for nearly ten thousand cycles. A cycle
  is when the door goes up and comes down. Even if
  you lift and lower the door once all through the
  day, that still equates to 2 cycles per day or
  730 in a year. That being said a spring would
  only last for little more than 13 ½ years.
  However, the majority of people open close the
  door several times all through the day, running
  multiple cycles, lessening that durability to far
  less than 13 ½ years. Its even feasible to go
  through ten thousand cycles in about a year.

• Rust accumulation
• When corrosion builds up in the springs it can
  make them to easily breakdown and the durability
  to be reduced. Decay causes rubbing on the coil
  deteriorates it as well. You can avoid spring
  break because of decay by spraying the coil with
  a lubricant every few months, which keeps it both
  lubricated from building up with oxidation.
• Poor upkeep
• Sure, wear tear can ultimately make the door
  springs to break. But, by doing proper upkeep you
  can extend the springs lifespan. The most
  important thing to do is spray down the coil with
  lubricant at least 3 times every year. Moreover,
  you must check the overhead door balance every
  season. Weve seen that many people have spring
  breakdown problems during the winter, so
  inspecting it more regularly during that time is
  suggested.
• Wrong spring used
• When using the wrong spring length or wire size,
  your overhead door spring will probably fail
  sooner than later. Properly maintained
  constructed overhead doors must have 2 torsion
  springs, one on each side. Some installers employ
  one long spring across the entire door, which is
  all right for smaller or lighter doors, but not
  the regular one. Its recommended to utilize 2
  springs to distribute the weight load of lifting
  closing the door, because single ones not just
  lessen the lifespan but will prompt severe damage
  when failure happens.
