A garage door spring is crucial in the closing and opening function of the door by balancing the weights. At the opening time of a garage door, the spring keeps energy and makes it feel lighter than its actual weight. Similarly, at closing time, the spring releases this energy and helps the door to work smoothly.

Hence, if one or more springs become damaged, it impacts the entire function of the door. So, each time you open or close your garage door, it plays a vital role in balancing the weight. Therefore, spring can be called the heart of your door system.

Different Types of Garage Door Springs

Two main types of spring are there, such as:

• Torsion Spring
• Extension Spring

The torsion spring is located beside the door or between the ceiling and the track. At the opening or closing time of the garage door, it stretches or shrinks

On the other hand, the extension spring is above the opening part of your garage door. It twists to make the door go down and up.
