Garage Door & Opener Lifespan Checker
Compare the age of your door, opener and parts with their typical lifespan to see what’s due for replacement.
Typical lifespans
| Item | Typical life |
|---|---|
| Steel garage door | 20-30 years |
| Wood garage door (well maintained) | 15-30 years |
| Aluminum or glass door | 15-25 years |
| Garage door opener | 10-15 years |
| Standard springs (10,000 cycles) | 7-10 years |
| Nylon rollers | 10-15 years |
| Lift cables | 8-12 years |
| Bottom weather seal | 3-7 years |
| Opener backup battery | 1-3 years |
These are typical ranges. Heavy use, coastal salt air, humidity and skipped maintenance shorten them, and good care extends them.
