Door Lifespan Estimator (Cycles)
Estimate the lifespan of your garage door's springs based on their cycle rating and your daily usage.
Understanding Garage Door Cycles
A garage door's "cycle" is one full opening and closing action. The torsion or extension springs on a door are rated for a specific number of cycles, which is the primary factor determining the door's mechanical lifespan. Standard builder-grade springs are typically rated for 10,000 cycles, while high-cycle springs can last for 25,000 cycles or more.
