Quick Introduction to Garage Door Springs

Posted on April 19, 2020

Springs are mounted at the top of a garage door. These are commonly known as garage door springs. They have come in two sets one is torsion garage door springs and the other is extension garage door springs. Each set of springs is mounted as a pair on either side of the garage door and wound tightly using a constant diameter bar which is made from steel to maintain the required tension.

Like other electronic equipment, garage door springs are going to break with the passage of time, no matter how well they are maintained. Normally, when one spring breaks down, others will support the garage door to operate. The good spring will also break soon due to the imbalance of the garage door. Therefore, it is important to replace both the springs at once. Extension garage door springs are relatively easy to handle for a handyman but there are still many risks associated with this task. So if you are not great with DIY techniques around the house, it is always great to leave it to professionals for safe garage door torsion spring replacement.

But if you are really interested in handling garage door springs by yourself. You will have to follow all the precautionary measurements, make sure that you have all handy tools, wear the protection devices to protect your eyes and have a partner with you. It is also important to buy high-quality products including metal bars and springs for winding tension in the springs.

After adjusting the springs with the bar, attach the whole replacement to the frame of the garage door.  Use the bar that is not complicated while winding the spring. Be careful because the potential violence can be harm that could occur if something goes bad.

Garage door torsion springs are dangerous to handle if they fall eventually. These springs are mounted tightly; they generate or release the tension while lifting the garage door. To evaluate the accurate sense of what type of springs your garage door will need, you have to estimate the weight of the garage door first. Proper knowledge about the model and style of garage door is also beneficial. Choose the strength and capacity of garage door springs according to the weight of the garage door.

Never compromise on the quality of the product when you are looking for new parts especially for something as important as garage door springs. They are used frequently that is quality of the material is matters. If you choose heavy-duty garage door springs, you won’t have to worry about changing them again anytime soon.
