the answer is:
The most common grade of torsion springs have an expected life of about 10,
000 cycles. The hardened and tempered steel experiences tremendous forces
each time the door opens or closes. Gradually, the steel fatigues with each
flexure, and eventually cracks and breaks, usually releasing its stored
energy in an instant with a horrific "sproing" noise or bang. If you average
about two car trips per day, opening and closing the door a total of 4
times daily when you come and go, then that expected life becomes 2500 days,
or only about 7 years.
