Types of Garage Door Springs
Different garage doors have different types of springs, and there is a significant difference in how simple it is to replace these springs.
- Torsion springs
- Extension springs
If you look at your garage door, you can quickly tell what kind of springs you have. Extension springs are used in door systems with long springs that run perpendicular to the door's side tracks. They are in the air, long and thin. Torsion springs are larger springs that rest next to the door opening on a metal rod.
Torsion Springs Repair
A winding bar, which can be used to quickly twist and untwist the springs to modify the amount of torsion, is required if you want to fix torsion springs. Each torsion spring has a winding cone at the end of it. The winding bar attaches here and can turn the entire spring. To gradually release them, you'll need to turn the bar while applying pressure to the door with the spring.
Torsion spring replacement requires that the door be shut. On a door, there are often only two torsion springs, so if one of them is completely broken, you've already made some progress! It will only be necessary to wind up the new springs and install them on the door after the old springs have been unwound and removed from the door. It's much simpler to find a video tutorial on how to precisely screw and unscrew the springs from the door if you need more detailed instructions.
Extension Springs Repair
In general, replacement extension springs are thought to be significantly simpler. Your door's springs can be totally removed and replaced without posing a threat of harmful stress. The springs should be secure to work with once you've opened the door because much of their tension will have been released. Clamps should be used to secure the door when you open it and start working on it to prevent it from sliding down on you.
Install the new spring by fastening it to the pulley and the safety cable after unplugging the old ones from the brackets, pulley, and cable. I'm done now!
