Torsion Or Extension?
These are the two types of garage door springs, and while we can take care of either, it’s still good to be aware of which you have. Torsion springs twist up when the door closes to create energy that’s used to lift the door up when you want to open it again. Extension springs do this by instead stretching out. The most important difference due to this is in longevity. Extension springs are more likely to break faster due to wearing down by being pulled to their limits daily. Thus, they will probably need more tending to in the long run.

My garage door spring tension is weak. What should I do?
The first thing you should do if your garage door spring tension is weak is check if the spring is worn or threatening to break. If the spring looks fine, it may benefit from being adjusted slightly. If the door struggles to move all the way up or can’t hang in place when manually lifted halfway open, then spring tension adjustment is definitely required, as your garage door is most likely unbalanced. This isn’t a maintenance procedure you should perform yourself if you’re not a trained technician, as it can be very dangerous.
Can I replace a broken garage door spring myself?
Not to put limits on yourself is smart, but knowing to steer clear of easily avoidable danger is smarter. Replacing a broken garage door spring takes specialized tools and professional training and experience. This is not a job for the weekend handyman as the springs can snap and cause serious bodily harm. Leave spring replacement to a qualified garage door repair technician. Our experts have the equipment and the expertise to do this type of work quickly, efficiently, and safely.
How can I tell which type of garage door springs I have?
The easiest way to tell which type of garage door springs you have is to look at where they are located. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on either side of your door and are perpendicular to the panels when the door is in the closed position. Torsion springs, on the other hand, are situated above your garage door, across a metal shaft that sits horizontally. The types of springs used, generally depend on the type of door system you have and how heavy it is, with torsion systems often being preferred for heavier panels.
