The Problem You Didn’t See Coming
You walk into your garage, press the button, and wait. But nothing happens. Or maybe you hear a loud pop, followed by a sudden drop of your garage door. It’s stuck halfway—or worse, all the way down.
It’s easy to overlook, but your garage door springs are working hard behind the scenes every single day. They’re the real muscle behind the heavy lifting, supporting the door’s weight and ensuring smooth, balanced operation. And when they fail? Your safety, time, and wallet all take a hit.
At Rightly Garage Doors, we’ve seen it all. Customers frustrated by broken springs, costly repairs, and doors that won’t budge—all because of one common thread: cheap springs.
The Cost of Cutting Corners
You may be tempted to save money by choosing lower-cost springs. After all, a spring is a spring… right?
Not exactly.
Budget springs are typically made with low-grade steel and designed with a shorter cycle life—often 10,000 cycles or fewer. That might sound like a lot, but if you use your garage door 4 times a day (leaving in the morning, returning for lunch, heading out again, and coming back at night), that spring might last only 7 years—and in high-use households, much less.
When low-quality springs fail prematurely, you’re not just replacing parts. You’re paying for emergency service calls, wasting time you don’t have, and exposing your family to potential safety risks.
And that’s not even considering the added stress cheap springs place on your garage door opener, rollers, and cables—creating a domino effect of wear and tear that could’ve been avoided.
The Long-Term Value of Quality Springs
At Rightly Garage Doors, we install high-cycle, premium-grade springs engineered to last. According to our friends at Precision Door Visalia, here’s what sets them apart—and why they’re worth the investment:
1. Extended Lifespan
Our high-quality springs are rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles or more—more than double or even triple the lifespan of standard springs. That’s decades of reliable use in many homes, without the constant worry of breakdowns.
2. Stronger Steel, Smarter Design
We use oil-tempered or galvanized steel springs that resist rust, perform better in varying temperatures, and maintain tension over time. These materials ensure your garage door opens smoothly, quietly, and safely—every time.
3. Less Wear on Other Components
High-quality springs reduce the stress on your garage door opener and hardware. When your door is properly counterbalanced, the motor doesn’t have to work as hard, meaning fewer breakdowns and a longer lifespan for your entire system.
4. Improved Safety
Springs under high tension can be dangerous when they break. Quality springs are less likely to snap unexpectedly—and when installed by Rightly’s trained professionals, we add safety containment measures to prevent injury or damage.
5. Better Warranty Coverage
We stand behind our work. Rightly Garage Doors offers strong warranties on our premium spring installations because we believe in doing it right the first time. When you invest in better materials, you should expect better service.
You Shouldn’t Have to Worry About What’s Overhead
You rely on your garage door every day—for security, for convenience, for peace of mind. But most homeowners don’t think twice about their garage door springs until something goes wrong. At Rightly Garage Doors, we’re here to change that.
We believe you shouldn’t have to worry about surprise breakdowns, noisy operation, or dangerous failures. You deserve a system that works quietly in the background, doing its job without a second thought.
That’s why we make it easy to invest in quality the first time—so you don’t pay for it the second, third, or fourth time.
