Broken Spring Replacement
Garage door springs are an important component of a garage door, as they provide the necessary tension to lift and lower the door. There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion springs and extension springs.
Garage door springs are under a lot of tension and can be dangerous to repair or replace, so it is recommended that you hire a professional to do this type of work. Over time, garage door springs can wear out and break, so it is important to regularly inspect them and replace them if necessary.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are the most common type of garage door spring, and they are mounted on a bar above the door. When the door is closed, the springs are wound tight, and when the door is opened, they unwind and provide the necessary lifting force. Torsion springs are typically more durable and long-lasting than extension springs, but they can be more dangerous to repair or replace because they are under a lot of tension.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are mounted on either side of the garage door, and they work by stretching and contracting as the door is opened and closed. When the door is closed, the springs are relaxed, and when the door is opened, they stretch to provide the lifting force. Extension springs are typically less expensive than torsion springs, but they are also less durable and have a shorter lifespan.
Range of Sizes
The range of sizes for garage door springs can vary depending on the type of spring and the size of the garage door. Torsion springs, which are the most common type of garage door spring, are typically available in a range of sizes, with the size being determined by the length and diameter of the spring. The length of the spring is typically measured in inches, and the diameter is typically measured in inches or millimeters.
For example, a common size for a torsion spring is 25 inches in length and 1.75 inches in diameter. This size would be suitable for a medium-sized garage door. Larger garage doors may require longer and/or thicker springs, while smaller doors may require shorter and/or thinner springs. It is important to choose the right size of spring for your garage door, as using a spring that is too large or too small can cause problems with the operation of the door.
Extension springs, which are another type of garage door spring, are also available in a range of sizes. The size of an extension spring is typically determined by the length and width of the spring, and these dimensions are also usually measured in inches. The length of the spring is typically determined by the height of the garage door, while the width is determined by the weight of the door. It is important to trust us when choosing the right size of extension spring for your garage door, as using a spring that is too large or too small can cause problems with the operation of the door.
