Garage door springs come in all shapes, sizes and types. When it comes to how long your springs will last depends on a few things. First, the type of spring you have plays a big role in its longevity—torsion springs tend to last longer than extension springs.
Second, the quality of the spring itself is important; high-quality springs are made to last longer than cheaper ones. Finally, the frequency of use also plays a role; if your garage door is used frequently and you don’t properly maintain it, the life span of your spring will decrease.
All in all, on average, you can expect your garage door springs to last anywhere from 5–10 years depending on the type, quality, and frequency of use.
