How long springs actually last in Friendswood
At only 3.7 freeze–thaw cycles a year, Friendswood springs mostly serve their full rated life. What deserves the attention instead is balance: pull the release and lift — a door that will not hold at waist height is eating its spring and its opener at once.
Since half the homes in Friendswood were standing by 1990, plenty of original springs are still in service; a two-minute balance test in autumn beats meeting one of them the morning it lets go.
