Standard torsion springs are rated around 10,000 cycles, which for a door used four times a day is roughly seven years. Cold makes spring steel more brittle, and in northern states a disproportionate share of springs let go in the coldest weeks, often with a bang heard inside the house. High cycle springs rated at 20,000 to 30,000 cycles cost more at install and roughly double or triple the interval. If your door is past seven years on its springs, a break is a when, not an if.
