Garage door spring repair is a crucial aspect of maintaining a functional and safe garage door system. Springs bear the door’s weight and facilitate smooth operation, so their upkeep is essential. When springs wear out, they can cause the door to become unbalanced or even fail, which is why spring tension adjustment is vital. This process ensures the springs maintain the correct tension, allowing the door to open and close smoothly.
When considering spring replacement options, it’s important to know there are typically two types: torsion and extension springs. Torsion springs are mounted above the door, and extension springs run parallel to the tracks. Each type has specific characteristics and requires precise handling during replacement to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
We must also consider DIY spring safety seriously. While some tasks can be tackled independently, spring repair requires specialized tools and expertise. Mishandling springs can result in injury due to their high tension. Therefore, while adjusting or replacing springs, always prioritize safety by consulting a professional if uncertain. Our team at Express Garage Door is equipped to handle these repairs, ensuring both our safety and the longevity of your garage door system.
