Understanding Garage Door Springs
Garage door springs are critical components that handle the heavy lifting whenever your garage door opens or closes. The two main types of springs are torsion springs and extension springs. Torsion springs are tightly wound and are mounted above the door, while extension springs are located on either side of the door tracks. Both types are designed to help counterbalance the weight of your garage door, making it more manageable for the opener or manual operation.
If your garage door isn't operating smoothly, it could be a sign that your springs are worn or damaged. Relying on experienced professionals for spring installation ensures that your garage door operates efficiently and safely.

Signs You Need New Springs
How do you know when it's time to install new springs? Look out for these common symptoms:
- Door Doesn’t Open or Close: If the garage door stops halfway or operates sluggishly, the springs may be worn out.
- Visible Damage: Inspect your springs for visible gaps, fraying, or a rusty appearance.
- Unbalanced Door: If your garage door appears tilted or hangs unevenly, this could indicate spring issues.
- Loud Noises: Unusual squeaking or popping sounds during operation can signal that your springs are under stress or failing.
- Age of the Springs: Generally, garage door springs have a lifespan of 7-9 years. If yours are older, it might be time for replacement.
The Importance of Professional Installation
While some homeowners may consider DIY spring installation to save money, it is crucial to recognize the risks involved. Garage door springs are under immense tension and can cause serious injury if not handled correctly. Our professional installers are trained to manage this tension safely and have the right tools for the job.
In addition, a professional installation ensures that the springs are calibrated correctly to match your garage door's weight and specifications. This precision is essential for the safe and effective operation of your garage door.
FAQs About Spring Installation
Q: How long does spring installation take?
A: Typically, spring installation can be completed within one to two hours, depending on the specific type and condition of your garage door.
Q: Will I need to replace both springs?
A: It is often recommended to replace both springs simultaneously, even if only one is damaged. This ensures that they wear evenly and function correctly together.
Q: What type of springs should I use?
A: Our technicians can suggest the best type of springs for your garage door based on size, weight, and your specific needs.
Q: How can I maintain my garage door springs?
