Winter Is Upon Us

This time of the year with garage doors there will be more garage door springs snapping in half. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the metal over a period of time creates a weak spot in the spring. Also, if your springs are too loose and need wound, this will also make your springs more susceptible to breaking. Springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle is garage door up, the other cycle is garage door down= 2 cycles), so to get the maximum life out of your garage door, it is always best to get your garage door maintenance regularly.
