We at Harrisville Garage Door Shop can also provide the fastest and most thorough repairs or replacements for any kind of garage door springs, and we can also make recommendations to you about best practices for the specific type of springs used in your garage door system.

Torsion Springs

In a torsion spring configuration, the springs are attached to a metal bar which is installed over the garage door, and they function to transfer weight to the stabilizing bar. The stabilizing bar has a cable at either side which works in conjunction with another spring to open the door. This design facilitates the transfer of weight so that a very heavy door can be easily opened. The strength and durability of torsion springs are determined by their wire size, their spring length, and the inside diameter. It generally requires one or two torsion springs to accommodate residential garage doors, whereas heavier commercial doors typically need more than two torsion springs.

Extension Springs

Extension springs are usually mounted on a pulley assembly or on the doorframe of a garage door system. By stretching and contracting, these springs can manage the weight of a door while it is actually raising or lowering. A contracting extension spring pushes the door toward the ceiling, while a stretching extension spring provides the necessary counterbalance. Because of the extreme weights being managed by extension springs, they should never be serviced by anyone but a highly qualified professional.
