Here are some common questions and answers to help you learn more about garage door springs.
Besides hearing a loud, explosive-like sound, other signs to look for to determine if you need a garage door spring repair include:
Garage doors have two types of springs: torsion and extension. Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and use winding movements to apply force when lifting and lowering a garage door. Extension springs are installed on both sides of the garage door on the roller tracks and use traditional expansion and contraction movements when opening and closing garage doors.
Garage doors are hefty, and the springs can be difficult to repair if you don’t know what you’re doing. Allowing a professional to complete the repair ensures the right tools, parts and safety measures are used.
The longevity of garage door springs depends on how often you use your garage door. They can typically last for 7– 12 years before needing a replacement.
While you can technically open the garage door manually if there is a broken spring, we do not recommend doing so. The weight of a garage door is extremely heavy, and if an incident occurs, someone could get hurt. Wait for a professional to replace the spring before using your garage door.
You don’t have to replace both springs if only one is broken, but we highly recommend replacing both at the same time. Replacing both springs ensures a properly balanced garage door, which is crucial for your safety.
