Common garage door problems in Eagle Lake homes
- Original springs reaching the end. Many Eagle Lake homes went up in the 1990s and 2000s. Torsion springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles, so a spring that came with the house may be close to done. Often the first sign is a loud bang and a door that won’t lift. More on spring repair.
- Original openers wearing out. An opener installed with a 1990s or 2000s home has done 20 years or more of daily trips. Worn gears show up as humming with no movement, or a door that stops partway. See opener repair.
- Two springs, one broken. Many double doors use two torsion springs that went in at the same time. When one breaks, ask whether replacing both makes sense; it’s your choice, and a fair pro will explain why.
- Winter cold. Mankato-area January nights average about 6°F, when worn springs most often snap. See our winter garage door checklist.

Eagle Lake garage door questions
My house is from the 2000s. Why did the garage door spring break already?
Torsion springs are commonly rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles. Four trips a day uses that up in roughly seven years, so a spring that came with a 2000s house has often done its work. Cold mornings are when they usually snap.
Should both springs be replaced if only one broke?
If your door has two springs of the same age, the other one has done the same number of cycles. Ask the technician to explain the options and the price of each, then decide.
