Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement
When it comes to garage door spring and its maintenance, Doorman in Ottawa has built a reputation for delivering first-rate garage door springs repair and replacement services.
These crucial components of your garage door play a significant role in enabling the smooth opening and closing of your door.
The Role of a Garage Door Spring
There are two springs counterbalance the weight of the door to allow it to open and close effortlessly.
Torsion spring
located above the closed door, the torsion spring is a type of mechanical spring that works by torsion or twisting.
In a garage door, torsion springs are typically mounted horizontally above the door opening. When the garage door closes, the cables attached to the bottom corners of the door pull on pulleys connected to the ends of the spring, causing the spring tension to wind up and store mechanical energy.
When the garage doors are opened, the stored energy in the spring is released, helping to lift the door. Due to their design and operation, torsion spring is capable of supporting heavier weights and can be used for both residential and commercial garage doors.
Extension springs
located above the upper tracks on both sides, are the two primary types of garage door springs. Extension springs are mechanical springs that work by extending or stretching.
For garage doors, they are typically installed along the sides of the door and stretch out when the door is closed.
This stretching stores mechanical energy, which is then used to help lift the door when it’s opened. They are lighter and smaller than torsion springs but can handle less weight.
The standard torsion springs are for heavier doors, while extension springs are for lighter doors.
Detecting the Need for Springs Repair or Replacement
It’s often easy to tell when your garage door springs need attention. If your garage door isn’t opening smoothly, if it stops midway, or if one side is higher than the other, these could all be indications of a problem with your extension springs or torsion springs.
One clear sign of a spring problem is if the spring breaks, causing a loud noise.
Garage Door Spring Repair
Torsion Springs and extension springs are under high tension, and if a spring breaks, it can cause severe injury. For this reason, spring repair is a job best left to professionals.
