Garage door springs are critical to the operation of your garage door. When operating properly the springs are what allows a 150 pound door to feel light as a feather when lifted manually.

Garage door springs fall into two different categories and those are torsion springs or extension springs and each type helps counterbalance the weight of the door. A broken garage door spring could bring the door crashing to the ground or come off track which could also lead to the cables coming off of the pulley.

Weight of the door: Heavier doors require harsher spring action in order to lift and return the garage door to its standing location. The heavier the door, the harder your springs have to work, and the shorter their life cycle will be.

Size of the springs: There are standard spring sizes for specific garage door measurements; however, by choosing a larger spring size, the item will be less strained because of the larger diameter. Smaller sizes will generally have shorter life cycles, and require replacement much more often.
