High Cycle Spring

What is High Cycle Garage Door Spring Replacement?

A High Cycle garage door spring replacement means upgrading your standard torsion springs to heavy-duty springs that last longer—usually rated for 25,000 to 50,000+ cycles instead of the standard 10,000.

A "cycle" = one open + one close.

  • So if you open/close your garage 4 times a day, a standard 10,000-cycle spring might last around 6–7 years.
  • A high cycle spring? You're looking at 15–30 years, depending on usage.

These springs are made from thicker or longer coils and are balanced to match your garage door's weight.

They're a great option for Minneapolis area homes with:

  • Bigger families (more in/out trips daily)
  • Attached garages (garage door used like a front door)
  • Cold climates where metal fatigue hits faster

Garage Door Spring FAQs

Why did my garage door stop working suddenly?

Usually, it’s a broken spring. You might hear a loud bang when it snaps. The door becomes super heavy and won't open—even with the opener.

Can I open the door if the spring breaks?

Not safely. The opener will struggle or fail. Plus, the door becomes heavy—like 150-300 lbs of dead weight.

Should I replace both springs if only one breaks?

Yes. If they were installed together, they’ve worn down together. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and avoids another service call soon.

What’s the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs sit above the door and twist to lift. Extension springs stretch on either side. Torsion is safer, smoother, and longer-lasting—most pros recommend it.

What’s the cost difference for high cycle springs?

They’re a bit more upfront, but you save over time by avoiding repeat spring failures and service calls.

Reasons To Choose All American Door For High Cycle Spring Replacement

We stock more than a dozen residential torsion spring size combinations, so you're never stuck waiting on a part. Whether you need standard oil-tempered springs or prefer the durability of high-cycle options, we've got exactly what your garage door needs—ready to install, right when you need it.

Standard Replacement Torsion Springs

Our standard replacement torsion springs are built to last, crafted from high-carbon steel and oil-tempered for extra strength and resilience. This time-tested process not only boosts durability but also helps protect against rust and corrosion.

While no spring lasts forever, proper care can extend their life even further. Each of our oil-tempered springs meets the industry standard of at least 10,000 cycles—giving you reliable performance, year after year.

High Cycle Replacement Springs

Our high-cycle replacement torsion springs take durability to the next level. Made from the same high-carbon steel as our standard springs, these are then powder-coated—a process that applies a tough, baked-on finish for added protection.

This coating eliminates the need for lubrication, making these springs virtually maintenance-free. Designed to last up to three times longer than standard options, our high-cycle springs are built for the long haul and backed by a lifetime warranty for total peace of mind.

A Smarter Upgrade for Cold Climates and Busy Homes in Minneapolis

Cold weather wears springs out faster. Metal contracts, gets brittle, and breaks more often in subzero temps.

  • Frequent use: Many homes use the garage as the main entrance. That’s a ton of cycles per year.
  • Preventative savings: Nobody wants a broken spring in the middle of a -10°F morning when you’re trying to get to work.
  • Home value: Upgraded parts = better function, less noise, fewer repairs = a better-maintained home.

If you're in Minneapolis or anywhere cold, high cycle springs are a smart upgrade—especially if you plan on staying in your home for years. Less maintenance, fewer breakdowns, and your door stays smoother and quieter longer.

I texted through the website that I would like to set up an appointment for cable repair on my garage door. Within a few hours, I got a call back and an appointment scheduled. Today, Austin came out and pointed out several things that I had the option of going with. Everything he suggested made sense and the repairs were done in a short timeframe. He was very detailed and explained things so that I could understand which I appreciated. I will definitely call them again for any future needs with my garage doors. Excellent service!
