A tip that will save you money with your rental property.

Something that will save you money when replacing the garage door on you rental property. Springs are what help your garage door go up easily and come down slowly. Most garage doors use torsion springs. You can usually see these coiled torsion springs above the door. Standard torsion springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles. That may sound like a lot, but if you open and close your door six times a day, which is pretty average, you'll reach 10,000 cycles in less than five years. Spending an extra $50 will buy you a spring rated for 20,000 cycles. Twice the life for a few more bucks.
