Garage door springs are key for the operation of your garage door. Understanding how garage door springs work and how they support tension is essential to appreciate their significance in the overall functionality of your garage door.
We will discuss extension springs and torsion springs. Both types are engineered to store and release energy, which is what enables the door to move smoothly.
Extension springs are typically found on older garage door systems and might be found above the horizontal tracks on both sides of the door. These springs work by stretching and contracting to create the required tension. When the garage door is closed, the extension springs are at their maximum tension. When you open the door, the springs extend, storing potential energy when is released when you close the door.
Torsion springs tend to be found horizontally above the garage door. These springs work by twisting and coiling to create tension. When the door is closed, the torsion springs are tightly wound. To open the door, the springs unwind, releasing the stored energy and aiding in lifting the door.
Both extension and torsion springs are calibrated to provide the precise amount of tension required for the weight and size of the garage door. This calibration is key for the garage door to stay balanced and so it doesn't slam shut or become too heavy to lift manually.
The tension provided by these springs offsets the gravitational force acting on the door. When the door is shut, the springs are under maximum tension. As one manually or electronically open the door, the springs release their stored energy, which assists in lifting the door against gravity. When closing the door, the springs store energy to counteract the gravitational pull.
Proper maintenance matters. Garage door springs are under immense tension, and any signs of wear or damage should be addressed fast.
