Signs Your Springs Need Attention
Garage door springs are under immense tension and can wear out over time. It’s crucial to recognize the signs of worn or damaged springs to prevent sudden failures:
Visible Wear and Tear: Look for gaps, rust, or deformation in the springs.
Difficulty Opening or Closing: If your garage door struggles to open or close, the springs may be the issue.
Unbalanced Door: An unbalanced door that appears crooked or uneven may indicate a spring problem.
Loud Noises: Squeaking, grinding, or banging noises during operation can signal spring issues.
Door Won’t Stay Open: If your garage door falls shut after opening, the springs may be failing.
Understanding Garage Door Springs
Garage door springs are essential components that bear the weight of the door and assist in its movement. There are two main types of springs used in garage doors:
- Torsion Springs: Located above the garage door opening, torsion springs use torque to lift and lower the door. They are known for their durability and ability to handle heavier doors.
- Extension Springs: Found on either side of the garage door, extension springs stretch and contract to provide the necessary force for door movement. They are typically used for lighter garage doors.
