How To Estimate How Long Your Garage Door Springs Will Last!<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n
• How many average times a day do you open your garage door?<\/span>\n
  \n
  • Example:<\/strong> Our family averages opening our garage door 4 times a day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
  • Multiply that number by 365.<\/span>\n
    \n
    • Example:<\/strong> 4 x 365 = 1,460<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • This will equal the number of cycles you use your garage door a year.<\/span>\n
      \n
      • Example:<\/strong> 1,460 cycles a year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • How many cycles do your springs have?<\/span>\n
        \n
        • Example:<\/strong>\u00a0 State 48 Garage Doors standards are 10,000 cycle springs and 30,000 cycle springs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Divide the number of cycles your spring has by the number of cycles you use your garage door a year.<\/span>\n
          \n
          • Example:<\/strong> 10,000 cycle spring \/ 1,460 cycles a year = 6.8 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • This will estimate the number of years your springs will last\n
            \n
            • Example:<\/strong> By opening our garage door an average of 4 times a day and equipping our garage with a 10,000 cycle spring we will most likely be replacing a broken spring in about 6.8 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding”
