Garage Door Torsion Springs FAQs
How Do Garage Door Torsion Springs Work?
Torsion springs are normally mounted horizontally above the opening of your garage door. When you pull the door down, cables attached to the bottom corners actually force the springs to wind up, in turn energizing the system. When you open the door, the springs then unwind and their energy transfers to the door, helping it to lift up and making it easier to open.
Garage Door Torsion Spring Lifecycle
As the door is opened and closed over time, the steel in the springs can start to weaken as the door gradually becomes too heavy for them, rendering them less effective. The springs will eventually break, leaving the door closed. Torsion springs can also be affected by rust and cold weather. The average garage door torsion springs will last somewhere between 5-7 years, and should last around 10,000-15,000 cycles. So, if you open and close your garage door 3-5 times a day for over 365 days in a year, you should get plenty of life out of your torsion springs.
Garage Door Torsion Spring Dangers and Risks
A garage door with a broken torsion spring can fall rapidly and cause injury or death. However, the most common danger comes when your torsion springs break and you decide to undertake the repair/replace them yourself. Torsion springs can be very dangerous, and you not only need the exact tools for the job, but also need to have a good knowledge of the mechanics involved. It is always recommended that you call in a professional, rather than trying to handle a replacement or repair by yourself. Failure to do so may leave you with injuries and/or damage to your property.
Garage Door Torsion Spring Repair
We strongly recommend that you ask a professional for this job. Many people are seriously injured every year as a result of attempting this repair without proper training and equipment. It is essential to have the right tools and know how to do the job safely.
