Torsion Springs
Torsion springs handle the weight of the garage door, using a strong beam that runs at the top of the door. Cables make the springs uncoil as the door goes up, then work in the opposite direct as the door goes down.
Your garage doors should go up and down smoothly, without creaking and excess movement. As long as the actions of your door mechanism are synchronized, that’s how it works. Torsion springs make it simple to manage the heavy weight of a garage door. Without them, it would just about impossible.
The strength and durability of the springs depends on their length, inside diameter and the size of the wire used. Each of these plays a part in how much weight a spring can safely handle and how long it lasts before breaking. A large spring can deal with doors of greater weight and resistance. Most residential garage doors need less than two springs to operate. On the other hand, commercial doors are bigger so they need two or more springs. The greater the weight of the door, the more springs it needs to function safely and easily.
Extension Springs
Extension springs work by extending and then constricting as the garage door moves up and down. They have areas made for mounting on a strong mechanism that is part of the garage door system. The springs constrict when the door opens and closes, offsetting the weight of the door. As the door goes up, the springs come together, which makes the door move up as far as it can. When the door is lowered, the springs go back to their original position.
All of these parts have a great deal of tension. Inexperienced do-it-yourselfers can easily get injured if they try to repair them. They can also damage the entire mechanism and the garage frame.
To catch problems early, get your garage door springs inspected occasionally. The experts at Garage Door & Opener Repairs can check for worn spots or areas that are broken and replace them.
