Garage Door Spring Systems

Choosing the Right Garage Door Spring

There are different types of spring systems designed to counter balance your garage door. Torsion and Extension springs are the most common. 

Garage Torsion Springs use high cycle springs which are tightly wound coils of metal that generate the torque that is needed to lift the garage door when you open it. Torsion springs come in sets depending on the weight and size of your garage door and they require few parts and are more dependable and less dangerous when they break. 

A Garage Extension Spring expands and contracts when your garage door is lifted or pulled down by motor or hand. They come in pairs that are attached to the garage door tracks that run along the ceiling on each side of the door. They can behave irregularly when they don't function right which is why they are always used along with safety cables.
