Your garage door works hard—opening and closing day after day, sometimes multiple times a day. Over time, this wear and tear adds up. One of the most important (and often overlooked) components is the garage door spring. At 716 Garage Door Repair, we’re helping Buffalo homeowners understand the difference between standard and high-cycle springs—and why an upgrade could save you time and money in the long run.
Standard Springs: Reliable but Limited
Most garage doors are equipped with standard torsion springs, designed to last around 10,000 cycles—which equals approximately 20,000 open-and-close movements. For the average household, that might mean 5 to 7 years of use.
While standard springs are functional, they’re not built for longevity or heavy use. If your garage door serves as your main entrance, or you have a busy household, you may find yourself replacing them more frequently than expected.
High-Cycle Springs: Built to Last
At 716 Garage Door Repair, we recommend high-cycle springs as a premium upgrade for homeowners who want lasting performance and peace of mind. These springs are engineered to handle 20,000 to 25,000 cycles—more than double the lifespan of standard springs.
🛠️ Why Choose High-Cycle Springs?
- Powder-coated finish to resist rust and corrosion
- Longer lifespan, especially for high-traffic doors
- Quieter, smoother operation
- Warranty-backed reliability
Our team installs these heavy-duty springs for customers throughout Buffalo and the surrounding areas, and they’re especially ideal if your garage is a primary entry point to your home.
💬 Expert Endorsement
As our lead technician puts it:
