Definition
Springs built with thicker wire and a larger coil so they last 25,000 to 100,000 cycles instead of the standard 10,000. They cost more up front but can outlast two or three sets of standard springs, which means fewer of those stuck-in-the-garage mornings — usually in January, since cold snaps are when worn springs let go. For busy households across the Four-State Area, Door Serv Pro typically recommends the upgrade whenever springs are already being replaced, because the labor is the same either way.
