Default Garage door maintenance

My garage door spring broke this week and I later discovered that two of my neighbors had the same problem over the last year. Our houses were built in 2004, which is apparently getting to the end of a spring's lifespan.

Apologies to those who are well aware of this (and perhaps @DangeloInspections has more detailed information to add), but just a friendly heads-up that it's probably best on older homes to inspect the spring every so often. It never occurred to me at all.

Nobody wants the door falling on their car as they drive in or out!
