Garage door springs play a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of the garage door. Their primary function is to counterbalance the door's weight, facilitating easy opening and closing. Two types of springs are commonly used: torsion springs, positioned horizontally above the door, and extension springs, found on either side of the door tracks. These springs work together to support the door's movement, making it safer and more manageable to use.

When you open your garage door manually or with an opener, the springs store and release tension to lift and lower the heavy door smoothly. This reduces the strain on the opener and allows for movement that is more controlled. Without properly functioning springs, the garage door would be too heavy to lift manually and could put excessive strain on the opener, leading to potential damage.

It's essential to understand that garage door springs are under high tension and can be dangerous if they become damaged or broken. When a spring snaps, it can release a significant amount of force, causing the door to slam shut suddenly, posing a serious risk of injury to anyone nearby or damaging property.
