Garage Door Spring Repair in Sterling, IL
A torsion spring is the part doing nearly all the lifting, and it is rated in cycles rather than years. Once a Sterling door reaches roughly ten thousand open-and-close cycles the steel fatigues and one day it lets go with a bang like a rifle shot. After that the opener alone cannot lift the weight and should not be asked to try.

- Crooked door sitting hard against one side of the track

Recent Sterling reviews
New double door fitted in a day, old one taken away, driveway swept. Nothing to complain about.
Opener died the week before we moved. They came out, told me the board was gone and the gears were worn, and gave me the cost of both options without pushing me either way.
Winter seal had gone and snow was blowing in. Small job, still turned up when they said they would.

How long do garage door springs last?
Springs are rated in cycles rather than years. A standard set is around 10,000 open-and-close cycles, which is roughly seven to ten years for an average household. If you use the garage as your main entrance, expect closer to five, or ask us about high-cycle springs.
