Terra Nova’s double garages built in the late-1990s to early-2000s are now 20-25 years old, meaning their torsion springs are likely on their second or third cycle since springs last ~7-10 years or ~10,000 cycles—call us for a same-day Richmond safety check.
Quick answer:
- Torsion springs last ~7-10 years or ~10,000 cycles
- Terra Nova doubles are 20-25 years old
- These doors are on their second or third spring
- Signs of failure include bang, heavy door, loose cable
Terra Nova Double Garage Doors First Failure Age
Watch for a loud bang when the spring breaks, the door feeling extremely heavy to lift manually, or the cable coming loose off the drum—these indicate immediate spring failure.
Should I replace both springs on my Terra Nova double garage door?
Yes, replace both torsion springs at once even if only one is broken to ensure balanced operation and prevent premature failure of the second spring.
Terra Nova was master-planned on former farmland in the late-1990s/early-2000s, so its double garages are aging original installations now experiencing expected spring wear.
On Terra Nova calls we most often replace both torsion springs and inspect cables for wear after a spring failure.
A typical Richmond range for double garage spring replacement is based on the 7-10 year spring lifespan and 20-25 year home age in Terra Nova.
