Why Garage Door Springs Break
Torsion and extension springs have a finite cycle life — typically 10,000 cycles for builder-grade springs. The average American household opens and closes the garage door 3–5 times per day, which means a standard spring can wear out in as little as 5–7 years. Contra Costa County's temperature swings — from freezing winters to 100°F+ summers in Concord and Antioch — accelerate metal fatigue, causing springs to snap earlier than their rated lifespan. A snapping spring sounds like a gunshot and is the most common garage door emergency we receive calls for in Walnut Creek.
Torsion Springs vs. Extension Springs: What's the Difference?
Torsion springs are mounted horizontally above the door opening and work by twisting and releasing stored torque. They're the standard in most homes built after 1993 in the Walnut Creek area and are considered safer and longer-lasting. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door and work by stretching. They're common in older Walnut Creek and Concord homes and require safety cables to prevent dangerous projectiles if they snap.
Why We Always Replace Both Springs
When one spring breaks, the other is typically at the same point in its wear cycle. Replacing only the broken spring means the second failure — and a second service call — is usually just months away. We always recommend replacing both springs simultaneously. It adds minimal cost to your service call while dramatically extending the time until you need another repair, and it keeps your door properly balanced.
Spring Replacement Is Not a DIY Job
Garage door springs store hundreds of pounds of mechanical tension. Releasing that energy without the correct tools and training can cause severe injury or death. Multiple Contra Costa County emergency rooms treat spring-related injuries each year. Our technicians are trained and equipped to release spring tension safely using professional winding bars and tension controls. Do not attempt to wind or adjust springs yourself.
