A broken spring can make a door that used to open easily feel impossibly heavy. For homes in the Lafayette area built in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the most common type of spring used on garage doors is the torsion spring.

Lafayette sits in north-central Indiana where winters bite hard and summers push into the 90s. That swing between January lows and July highs puts metal hardware through repeated expansion and contraction cycles every year.Read more
Springs near the end of their cycle life tend to fail in January or February, when cold makes steel more brittle and the door has been sitting overnight in a cold garage. Our techs see this pattern every winter, especially in the older neighborhoods along Kossuth Street and in the homes west of the Wabash River where attached garages were added decades after the house. The International Door Association has more on cold-weather door care. Many of Lafayette’s homes were built as single-car garage attached homes from the post-war period through the 1980s. Much of the original hardware on these types of garages has never been serviced. In contrast, multi-unit rental homes such as those near the Purdue University campus have high-cycle doors that open and close frequently. A tune-up and safety inspection can reveal most problems before a spring or cable fails. It is always easier to catch a worn spring or fraying cable before they fail versus a door that will not move at all.
