The Importance of Garage Door Springs

Garage door springs are the unsung heroes that bear your hefty door's weight. They counterbalance the hefty door's mass so you don't have to grapple with numerous pounds whenever you need to enter or leave. When these springs break, however, operating your garage becomes tougher than lifting weights at a gym.Besides making access difficult, broken springs also pose safety risks. An unbalanced door could suddenly crash down causing injuries or damaging property beneath it.

The Types of Garage Door Springs

You'll typically find two types: torsion and extension springs. This guide provides an overview of the two types, but goes into further detail.

Torsion Springs: Located above the closed door horizontally. These heavy-duty coils twist as they lift your garage doors.
Extension Springs: Installed on either side of horizontal tracks extending as tension builds up during operation.

No matter which type graces your system though, they're all prone to wear and tear over time due to frequent use or environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations or rusting conditions. Our professional team has extensive experience dealing with both types, ensuring we've got any issue covered.

Why You Need to Replace Broken Springs

A broken spring isn't just a tiny problem you can brush off. It’s like having a car with a busted engine - it simply won’t run properly.Delaying repair could result in more damage and higher costs down the line.

Remember the crash-down door mishap we talked about? Well, getting repairs done on time can actually prevent such scary situations from happening.
