How Torsion Springs Work
Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and are under extreme tension. Their job is to counterbalance the door's weight, allowing it to open smoothly. Single garage doors typically have one spring.
Double garage doors usually require two springs to balance the extra weight.
Signs of a Weak or Broken Spring
Garage door won’t open or feels extremely heavy.
Loud snap or bang sound from the garage.

Why Replace Both Springs?
If one spring breaks, the other is likely not far behind. Replacing both at once:
Restores proper balance.
Prevents future service calls.
Saves you a second installation fee.
Preventative Maintenance Tips.
Lubricate your springs at least twice a year using a proper garage door lubricant.
Inspect for rust on the coils, which weakens the metal and shortens spring life.
Do a seasonal check, especially before cold weather, to avoid emergency issues in the winter.
