Follow on Google News | Two Springs Are Cheaper Than OneDenver Garage Door Experts says it cost less to replace both garage door springs when only one is broken.
Searles said, “Not all garage doors have two torsions springs, but many do. The metal in the springs fatigues at different rates, especially if the doors are not in balance. Over time, the difference mounts, and unless they are replaced, one of the springs will break first.” Searles commented that when one spring fails, it is more economical to replace the unbroken one as well as the failed spring. “When only one spring is replaced, not only will the older spring likely fail first, it is also very difficult to balance the door. The new spring will then shoulder more of the load, shortening its life.” “This is going to cost the homeowner more,” he said. “There will be more service visits, at a rate greater than if both springs were replaced. You end up in a cycle of replacing springs one at a time. Basically, you still end up having to replace both springs, you are just paying for twice the service visits.” Searles noted the best way to maximize your investment is to keep the doors balance so that both springs bear a fair share of the load. And that the springs should be replaced before they break. About The Garage Doctor Denver, Colorado based Denver Garage Doctor (http://denvergaragedoctor.com/ End
