Garage door springs are critical components that counterbalance the weight of the door, making it easy to open and close either manually or with an electric opener. Springs come in many different sizes. The size and weight of the door dictates the size of the springs. These springs work under immense tension and are responsible for the smooth and safe operation of the garage door. There are primarily two types of garage door springs: torsion springs, which are mounted above the door and twist to create torque, and extension springs, which are located along the horizontal tracks and stretch or extend to provide the necessary force.
Due to the significant tension they are under, garage door springs can be dangerous to handle and should only be adjusted or replaced by trained professionals. Over time, these springs can wear out or break due to repeated use, temperature fluctuations, or lack of maintenance. Signs of failing springs include a door that opens unevenly, makes loud noises, or feels excessively heavy. Replacing broken or worn springs, by a professional Garage Door Repair Company, promptly, is essential for safety and to prevent damage to the garage door opener and other hardware.
