my neighbors (homes built the same year) had their springs break about the 10th year. my garage spring is still the original and it's going 15yrs now.
while oiling, i like to unlink from the garage door opener and just open/close by hand to check if it binds anywhere. |
Good idea! This one has lasted 13 years. The middle bracket actually sheared the bolt heads off and was hanging down 
As I type I hear it going up so that is a good sign
