Garage door springs are essential components that counterbalance the weight of the door, making it easy to open and close. There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion springs and extension springs.
Torsion Springs: These springs are mounted above the door and twist to lift the door. They are known for their durability and can last up to 20,000 cycles. Signs of wear include visible gaps in the coils or a loud bang if they break.
Extension Springs: Located on either side of the door, extension springs stretch and contract to operate the door. They are typically less expensive than torsion springs but have a shorter lifespan. Common signs of wear include elongated springs or uneven operation of the door.
Understanding the differences between these springs helps in diagnosing problems and deciding on the appropriate repairs.
