⚠️ Why Garage Door Springs Fail in Central Florida

Florida's climate is tough on garage door springs. Here's why we see more spring failures than most other states:

🌡️ Extreme Temperature Swings
From 95°F summer heat to 40°F winter mornings, constant expansion and contraction weakens metal springs.

💧 High Humidity Levels
Central Florida's humidity causes rust and corrosion, especially on older springs without protective coatings.

🌀 Frequent Storms
Power outages force manual operation, putting extra stress on springs that aren't designed for frequent manual use.

🏠 Heavy Usage
Many Florida homes use garages as main entrances, meaning springs cycle 4-6 times daily instead of the typical 2-3 times.

💡 Fun Fact: The average garage door spring is designed for 10,000 cycles. In Florida's climate, they often fail after 7,000-8,000 cycles due to environmental stress.

🚨 Signs Your Springs Need Replacement NOW

Immediate Red Flags:

❌ You heard a loud bang from the garage
This is usually a spring breaking. Don't touch the door until professionals arrive.

❌ Your garage door feels extremely heavy
If you can barely lift the door manually, springs have likely failed.

❌ The door only opens 6-12 inches
Broken springs can't support the door's full weight.

❌ Visible gaps in the spring coils
Once you see a gap, the spring is broken and dangerous.

❌ Your opener struggles or won't work
Openers aren't designed to lift doors without spring assistance.

Warning Signs (Schedule Service Soon):

⚠️ Door operates slowly or unevenly

⚠️ Visible rust or corrosion on springs

⚠️ Springs look stretched out or sagging

⚠️ Squeaking or grinding noises during operation

⚠️ Door seems heavier than usual

🔍 Types of Garage Door Springs We Replace

Extension Springs

What they are: Long springs that run parallel to the door tracks

Where you'll find them: Typically on older garage doors or lighter doors

Lifespan in Florida: 5-7 years with regular use

Replacement cost: $150-$250 for a pair

Benefits:

• Less expensive to replace

• Easier to install in some configurations

• Good for lighter doors (under 200 lbs)

Torsion Springs

What they are: Thick springs mounted above the door opening

Where you'll find them: Most modern garage doors, especially heavier doors

Lifespan in Florida: 7-10 years with proper maintenance

Replacement cost: $200-$400 for a pair

Benefits:

• More durable and longer-lasting

• Safer operation (contained system)

• Better for heavy doors (200+ lbs)

• Smoother, more balanced operation

🎯 Our Recommendation: If you have extension springs that need replacement, consider upgrading to torsion springs for better performance and safety.
