types of garage door springs

There are two types of garage door springs for you to consider. They are the following:

Extension garage door springs

Extension garage door springs

Older types of garage doors use extension springs mounted on each side. As mentioned earlier, they assist and balance the door’s movement along the tracks.  

Unlike torsion springs, these springs require more parts when installed and last around 10,000 cycles.

Since an extension spring can cause more harm than a torsion spring if the spring breaks, extension springs require a safety cable when installed.

Torsion garage door springs

Torsion springs are located at the top of the overhead garage door.

Although they are more expensive than extension garage door springs, these springs are considered to be sturdier and last longer. They usually last between 15,000 and 20,000 cycles.

Torsion springs require less maintenance and are less dangerous in case the spring breaks.

Replacing Extension Springs with Torsion

Depending on your garage door model, you can replace extension springs with torsion springs. Here at Ultimate Garage Door Repair, we can do that job for you. Expect our garage door technicians to bring the necessary equipment and high-quality torsion springs to the site.

If your garage door spring break, do not attempt to repair it. It is already beyond repair, and only a garage door spring replacement can solve the issue. Also, don’t try to lift your door manually as it can crash down that can cause injuries and property damages. 

The Dangers of Replacing the Garage Door Springs Yourself
