Types of Garage Door Springs

You've got two main characters in the spring world: torsion and extension springs. Torsion springs chill above your closed garage door while extension springs live on either side, stretching out when the door closes. They both have their strengths but share one thing—they don't last forever.Torsion springs pack a punch by using torque to lift doors. These tough guys can handle more weight and offer smoother operation than their counterparts, which means less wear on other parts. Extension springs extend and contract with cables running through pulleys—which sounds cool unless one breaks during rush hour at home.
