What Factors Into Your Garage Door Lifespan?

A garage door typically lasts 15–30 years, depending on climate, usage, and maintenance. Wallingford's summer heat and winter freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wear, while regular lubrication, seal checks, and hardware inspection extend life. Springs handle 10,000–20,000 cycles before failure—roughly 10–15 years for average use.

Climate: Salt air and temperature swings reduce lifespan.
Usage frequency: More cycles = earlier replacement.
Maintenance: Yearly service adds 5+ years to most doors.
