During these moments of weather change there are usually several cold fronts and bouts of warm air that cause the weather to fluctuate.
Weather, especially cold weather, can significantly affect your garage door springs by making the metal weak, leading to increased tension and a higher chance of breaking due to the contraction and expansion in metal caused by temperature fluctuations; essentially, cold can cause the springs to become more prone to snapping or failing prematurely.
Standardized springs will last somewhere between 10-15k cycles or lifts up and down. This translates into a variety of year ranges depending on the user. Some of our customers lift the door so often, 8 years is about all they get and others who rarely use their door and don’t replace springs but every 15-20 years. If you’re aware of how often you use your door and how old your springs are, you could AVOID getting stuck in your garage for a day or two, waiting on a professional to come out.
