Springs and Rollers

Springs and rollers are crucial elements which make your garage door open and close. Both have a life expectancy and need to be changed before they break and do irreparable damage to your door.

Springs hold the weight of the door. They are only designed for 10,000 movements. While this might sound like a lot, it really is not.

If you leave and come home twice a day, that equals eight movements per day and 2,920 per year. Most residential garage door springs need to be changed about every five years.

Rollers roll in the track to keep the door aligned every time it moves up or down. Over time, they wear out. An average residential garage door needs new rollers every two years.

Does your garage door stay closed most days? Time is not a friend to springs or rollers. The moving parts need to move or they will seize.

Good news! You can find out if your springs or rollers need replacing during your regular maintenance. RDGS will inspect your rollers and springs when you have a lube & tune.

Do not get stuck in (or out of) your garage! Call RDGS to inspect and maintain your garage door today.
