How Garage Door Springs Function
The weight of a garage door can be quite substantial, with some garage doors having a weight of over 200 pounds. Because of this, there is a need for a spring system to balance the door. There are two types of springs used in garage doors, which include torsion springs and extension springs. The torsion springs are placed horizontally above the door, rotate, and twist. They are placed on a steel rod above the door. The extension springs, on the other hand, are placed on cables on both sides of the door, expand, and shrink. Connecticut Garage Door Repair offers repair and replacement of all springs on both residential and commercial garage doors. The springs vary in size and are from top manufacturers in the industry.
Warning Signs of Failing Garage Door Springs
Garage door springs also have a lifespan, and it is expressed in terms of cycles. Most standard springs have around 10000 cycles. When springs are about to fail, you will likely notice at least one of these telltale signs. These include a loud bang coming from the garage, the door feeling significantly heavier as you try to manually open it, gaps in the springs, uneven opening of the door, and the door opening only halfway. Your garage door opener will also likely overheat as it tries to lift the heavier door. Catching at least one of these warning signs early and giving Connecticut Garage Door Repair a call will ensure that a small problem does not develop into a life threatening emergency.
