The Different Types of Garage Door Spring
Every garage door relies on specific springs based on its brand and installation date. Here are three common types we replace:
- Torsion Springs
- Extension Springs
- TorqueMaster Springs by Wayne Dalton
- Torsion Springs These are on roll-up garage doors. They lift the door and work with manual or automatic openers. Most torsion springs last 7-10 years depending on usage. Garage doors have 1 or 2 torsion springs. With 2 springs the door will stay up even if one breaks.
- Extension Springs They are usually on each side of the door. Depending on the setup there may be 1 or 2 springs per side. Extension springs last 10-12 years.
- TorqueMaster Springs by Wayne Dalton It uses 1 or 2 springs inside the shaft to lift the door. These springs last about 5-10 years. Since they have a shorter life we can convert your TorqueMaster system to a traditional torsion spring system for more durability.
Common Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair or Replacement
A broken garage door spring often goes unnoticed until the door stops working. Watch for these signs to catch spring damage early:
- A loud crashing sound: Springs that are unwound can produce a sound.
- A visible gap in the spring: Springs should be tightly wound, with no gaps. A gap indicates damage.
- A bend in the door panels: This is a clear sign that the spring is broken.
- The door falls quickly: Without a working spring, gravity pulls the door down too fast.
- Crooked movement: The door may still open, but it won’t move evenly along the track.
- Loose cables: You might see slack cables hanging from the ceiling when the springs are broken.
Causes of Broken Garage Door Springs
- Rust: Rust makes springs weaker
- Daily Wear and Tear: Most springs last around 10,000 cycles before they wear out.
- Lack of Maintenance: Without regular maintenance, they can wear out faster and break.
signs that your garage door spring might be broken
- When you pull the manual release, the door will not open.
- The door is crooked as it goes up and down.
- The door only opens 3-6” when you press the opener.
