Understanding Garage Door Springs
Most garage doors use one of two spring types. Knowing which one yours uses is essential for effective maintenance and safe operation.
Torsion Springs
- Mounted above the door
- Twist and store energy to provide lift as the door opens and closes
Extension Springs
- Located on either side of the door
- Stretch to keep the door balanced
