Types of Garage Door Springs

Garage door springs play a crucial role in the safe and smooth operation of your door. Each type has unique benefits and drawbacks, and understanding the differences can help you make a more informed decision about which type of spring is best suited for your door. 

There are two primary types of springs:

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are located above the garage door, and they work by twisting as the door moves up and down. These springs are usually more durable, able to handle the weight of heavier doors, and often require less maintenance.

Two different types of garage door springs: torsion and extension

Extension Springs

Extension springs are located along the sides of the door, stretching and contracting as the door opens and closes. They are often found on lighter doors but can be less safe than torsion springs since they are under less control when they break.

Why Garage Door Springs Matter

Garage door springs are under constant stress as they support the weight of the door during each opening and closing cycle. These springs come in two main types: torsion springs and extension springs. Both are essential to the garage door’s overall function. Without properly working springs, your garage door could become sluggish, uneven, or even dangerous to operate. Regular maintenance and timely repairs ensure your door continues to function safely and efficiently.

Frequently Ask Questions

On average, garage door springs last about 10,000 cycles, which translates to approximately 7-10 years for most homeowners. The lifespan depends on factors such as frequency of use, the weight of the door, and the type of springs installed. If you use your garage door multiple times a day, the springs may wear out more quickly.

While it’s possible to replace just one spring, we typically recommend replacing both springs at the same time, even if only one is broken. This ensures balanced operation and prevents the new spring from wearing out prematurely due to the additional strain from the old spring.

No, it is not safe to use a garage door with a broken spring. A broken spring can cause the door to become unbalanced and may lead to further damage or even injury. It's best to avoid using the door and contact a professional technician to handle the repair as soon as possible.

We recommend having your garage door springs inspected at least once a year. Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become costly repairs, ensuring the door operates smoothly and safely.
