Mitch and Michelle Stone from MyGarageDoorBROKE.com™ stopped by the Great Day St. Louis studio on KMOV to talk about something most West County homeowners don't think about until it's too late: spring garage door safety and the importance of routine maintenance.

What They Covered
A garage door is the largest moving part in your home. It opens and closes an average of 1,500 times a year, and most people never give it a second thought until the spring snaps or the opener stops responding.
During the segment, Mitch walked through what homeowners should actually be paying attention to — including how to spot early warning signs before a minor issue turns into a car stuck in the garage at 7 a.m.
The Spring Maintenance Window Is Short
Spring is the best time to have your garage door inspected. Missouri winters are hard on garage door hardware. Metal springs and cables contract in the cold, lubricants thicken, and weather seals take a beating from ice and temperature swings. By the time spring arrives, your system has been through a lot.
Best Time to Service Your Door
If you've been in your home for more than a few years and haven't had your door serviced, it's worth a call. Springs have a finite cycle count, and most homeowners don't know how many they've used up. A quick inspection tells you where things stand before something breaks.
