The lifespan of a garage door torsion spring is typically rated for 10,000 to 15,000 cycles, which equates to roughly 7-12 years depending on usage frequency. Factors such as the weight of the garage door and the quality of the spring material significantly influence its longevity. Exposure to coastal air in San Diego can also play a role. When a spring shows signs of wear or breaks, professional replacement is crucial for safe operation.
