Factors like rust and poor maintenance can shorten this lifespan even more. When they break, it’s not just an inconvenience; it can be downright dangerous due to the sudden release of tension.This is why DIY fixes are a big no-no here. The risk of injury from improperly handling springs is high, which makes professional help not just recommended but essential. Professionals possess the necessary equipment and expertise to securely swap out these springs, guaranteeing that everything is properly aligned for seamless functionality.
You might hear terms like 'torsion' and 'extension' when talking about garage door springs — both serve the same purpose but operate differently. Torsion springs are mounted above the closed door, winding up as the door lowers to store energy used for lifting it back up. Extension springs run along both sides of the upper tracks, stretching out when you lower the gate then contracting to pull it back up.Kicking off with knowing what type you have helps pinpoint exactly what needs fixing during a breakdown scenario without playing guessing games that could further damage your setup.
