Replacing a garage door spring is not that much of an issue. But it would be best if you did it with great care and under the supervision of an expert.

Yes, you have to replace both springs. The springs on your garage door are similar to those on a car. Both are torsion springs: the type of spring with a lot of bend and twist. If you replace just one of them, the new spring will bind because the other will do more work for the same tension, resulting in a weak spring. If you replace just one, you'll find out the hard way; within a few months, I'm back replacing the other spring when it snaps. If you replace both, your door will operate correctly, with less stress on the rest of your door mechanisms.

The average garage door spring failure is after ten years of use. However, a couple of things can happen to make them last longer than the average. There are two basic types of garage door springs; extension and torsion. The following is how long each type lasts. Type of Spring Average age A Extension Spring (new) 8 years A Extension Spring (used) 12 years B Torsion Spring (new) 6 years B Torsion Spring (used) 10 years Torsion springs show signs of fatigue after three years. Also, other factors determine how long the spring will last, like how many times a day you open and close your garage door.
