Several factors can contribute to garage door spring failure:
- Age and Wear: Over time, springs naturally wear out due to constant use and exposure to the elements.
- Incorrect Adjustment: If springs are not adjusted properly, they can experience excessive stress and break.
- Overloading: Attempting to lift excessive weight can put undue strain on the springs.
- Corrosion: Exposure to moisture and harsh weather conditions can cause springs to corrode and weaken.
- Manufacturing Defects: In rare cases, springs may be defective from the factory.
- Improper Installation: If springs are not installed correctly, they may be more prone to failure.
It’s essential to have your garage door springs inspected regularly to identify signs of wear and tear and prevent unexpected failures.
