A clearly worn spring with an unknown amount of life left

SpringStatus™

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.

How accurate is the estimate? ▶

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.

Can I replace springs myself? ▶

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Always hire a trained professional for spring replacement.

My springs "feel fine" — should I still check? ▶

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.

How often should springs be checked? ▶

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.
