There are two types of spring systems that are used in a garage door.
Extensionspring system:
In this method there are cables running from the top of the garage door attached to the bottom and consists of coiled springs that stretch when closed and when opened the energy in the spring is released and the door opens. As simple as it may sound, this type of spring systems can weaken over time due to closing and opening and eventually break, causing chaos. These types of garage doors need to be checked by professionals to ensure proper working and good condition of springs.
Torsion spring system:
A torsion spring is a spring that is mounted on top of your garage door. When the door is opened the cables connecting the springs unwind and the stored energy is used to open the door. Overtime due to opening and closing it may weaken. It is important to note that addition of insulation or glass to your garage door can put a strain on your garage door. Other factors such as poor maintenance could also shorten the life of torsion springs.
