SpringStatus™
How long will your garage door springs last? Let’s find out.
Your torsion springs do the heavy lifting every day — and when they break, everything stops. SpringStatus™ helps you estimate how much life they’ve got left, so you’re not caught off guard.
- Fast, free online tool
- No tech required
- Know before they snap
A broken spring doesn’t give you a heads-up — until now.
Take a minute to answer a few quick questions and get an accurate estimate of how much life is left in your springs:
How SpringStatus™ works
Springs don’t last forever. Most break between 10,000–15,000 cycles — and they don’t always give clear warning signs. SpringStatus™ asks a few quick questions about your door, usage, and wear signs to estimate:
- How much life is likely left
- Whether you’re at risk of a sudden failure
- If it’s worth replacing now — or waiting a little longer
Why spring failure matters
When a torsion spring breaks:
- Your door becomes heavy and inoperable
- Openers can burn out trying to lift it
- It can cause injury or damage if you're nearby
- You’ll be stuck until a tech arrives — often at higher emergency rates
With SpringStatus™, you can plan ahead, avoid urgent repairs, and replace springs on your terms.
It’s an educated prediction based on your door size, usage, and any visible signs of wear. It’s not exact, but it’s surprisingly useful for planning ahead — especially if your springs are 5+ years old.
We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Always hire a trained professional for spring replacement.
Yes. Springs can fail suddenly with no obvious symptoms. If it’s been a few years since installation (or you’re not sure), SpringStatus™ is a smart step.
We recommend checking once a year — or any time you notice the door getting heavier, uneven, or noisy.
Smart maintenance = fewer surprises
You wouldn’t wait for a tire to explode before replacing it. Your springs deserve the same care — especially when they support a 200+ lb door over your head.
