Garage door repairs and installation in Lenasia
Lenasia has a lot of double garages, a lot of extended families sharing them, and doors that consequently cycle far more often than the springs were rated for.

Garage doors in Lenasia
Busy households, busy doors, and springs that never stood a chance
Springs are rated in cycles, not in years. That single fact explains most of what we are called out to in Lenasia, where a double garage is frequently shared by an extended household with three or four cars in it.
A standard torsion spring is good for roughly 10 000 to 15 000 cycles. A household that opens and closes the door fifteen times a day gets through that in about three years. So a spring failing here is not a defect and it is not bad luck — it is simple arithmetic, and the answer is a high-cycle spring specified for how the door is actually used.
The same logic applies to the motor. A unit sized for a quiet household will spend its life labouring on a busy Lenasia door, and it will fail early. Specifying it properly the first time costs a little more and saves a great deal.

Local knowledge
What we see on Lenasia driveways
The doors here work harder than most. The hardware should be specified accordingly.
Springs at end of cycle lifeFifteen cycles a day gets through a standard spring in about three years.
High-cycle springs are the answerA little more up front, considerably longer between callouts.
Under-specified motorsA quiet-household motor on a busy door will not see year four.
Double doorsHeavier, harder on the hardware, and unforgiving of a snapped cable.
Multiple remotesBig households need more remotes and a keypad. Rolling-code, always.
Six-monthly servicingNot annual. On a door cycling this often, six months is the honest interval.

Garage door questions from Lenasia
Springs, cycles, remotes and honest intervals.

Send us a photo of the door on WhatsApp. We can usually name the fault before we load the vehicle.
WhatsApp a photoWhy do my garage door springs keep breaking?
Because the door is cycling more often than the springs were rated for. A standard spring lasts roughly 10 000 to 15 000 cycles — which in a busy Lenasia household is around three years. The answer is a high-cycle spring, specified for how your door is actually used, not for an average that does not describe you.
What is a high-cycle spring and is it worth it?
It is a spring wound and sized to survive considerably more cycles than a standard one. It costs a little more up front. On a door that opens fifteen times a day, it can more than double the interval between callouts, which makes it one of the easiest value decisions in this trade.
Can we have extra remotes for a big household?
Yes, and a wall keypad is usually the better answer than a fifth remote — anyone with the code can open the door without carrying anything. All of it should be on a rolling-code receiver so the signal cannot be captured and replayed.
How often should our door be serviced?
On a busy Lenasia double, every six months rather than every twelve. It is not us being greedy — it is that at fifteen cycles a day, twelve months is simply too long between inspections.
Book a technician
If the spring keeps breaking, the spring is not the problem.
The specification is. Tell us how the door is actually used and we will fit hardware that survives it.
