Torsion spring cycles refer to the number of times that your garage door has to close or open before failure of the springs. In order to calculate the number of cycles you need, count how many times your garage door opens and closes on a daily basis. Multiple that number by 250 days, and multiply the result by 10 years, which is the expected lifespan of the average garage door.
