Understanding Garage Door Spring Replacement
Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of the garage door. This allows for smooth opening and closing. Over time, springs can wear out or break, requiring immediate replacement.
Types of Garage Door Springs
There are two main types of garage door springs:
- Torsion Springs: These springs are mounted above the garage door opening. They wind and unwind to lift the door.
- Extension Springs: Located above the upper tracks on both sides, these stretch and contract to operate the door.
System Conversions
Some garage systems use extension springs, but torsion spring systems are safer and more reliable. MS Garage Door Service can convert your system to a torsion spring system, enhancing safety and longevity.
Garage Door Spring Sizes
Springs come in various sizes to match the door weight and size. Selecting the correct size is crucial for safe operation and durability. Our technicians will measure and recommend the right springs for your door.
Pros and Cons
Choosing the right type of spring comes with its advantages and disadvantages:
Torsion Springs:
- Pros: Longer lifespan, better balance, and smoother operation.
- Cons: Higher cost and requires professional installation.
Extension Springs:
- Pros: More cost-effective and easier to install.
- Cons: Shorter lifespan and less safe than torsion springs.
