GARAGE DOOR TORSION SPRINGS

YOUR LOCAL GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS REPAIR EXPERTS

Torsion springs are springs that take up the weight of your garage door when operated, and they have been designed in such a way that the garage may or may not be operated manually with ease.

Good quality springs also reduce the wear and tear on the opener by taking pressure, stress and load off the motor cog and internal gears, which then increases the life of the opener on residential roller doors as well as sectional overhead garage doors, which are commonly known as panel lift doors.

REPAIRS AND HEAVY-DUTY SPRING REPLACEMENTS

Garage door torsion springs normally break when the door is closed because this is when maximum tension is placed on the springs. A very loud bang or crack sound may be heard when this occurs. There will be a split or a separation of about 2 inches or 5 cm showing in the middle of the broken spring.

A torsion spring must be replaced with a new one before the garage door can be operated. If the force settings on the remote-controlled opener have been set up correctly, then the garage door should only lift 10 cm or 4 inches and cut out. Also, if you have a double garage door with two springs, only one spring will break at first. We highly recommend that both springs be replaced because the spring that is not broken will break at any time.

The life expectancy of a torsion spring is normally around ten years or 10,000 revolutions or cycles. The order of one up and one down constitutes one cycle.

There are many different sizes of garage doors manufactured and installed, so it is very important to install the correct size of new torsion springs. As a rule of thumb, if the garage door can be lifted with one hand and without strain, then the right torsion springs have been installed, and the tension applied is correct. Any work performed on sectional door torsion springs should only be done by an experienced technician because of the hazards involved.
