Replacing Garage Door Springs

Garage door springs are an important part of any garage door system. When the spring twists or extended, it creates the energy that is used to support the mass of a garage door. This helps with the garage door's ability to open and close.

Having the correct size springs for any given garage door is crucial for proper functionality. When the door is closed and the springs are in their natural condition, this keeps the garage door supported while maintaining energy levels. When the door opens, the energy is slowly depleted. Improper springs will make it impossible for the garage door to operate as intended.

Similarly, if you have a garage door working under inappropriate balance conditions, such as a garage door spring designed to hold 200 pounds on a system meant for 500 pounds, this can also cause issues. The best way to prevent issues with the springs is to ensure that they are not only the correct kind, but that they are also compatible with the system requirements and the garage door’s weigh.

In the event that the springs are damaged or weakened, it is best to replace them altogether. If one spring is weak or broken, the others are soon to follow, so you may want to consider replacing those, too.
