Signs That Your Garage Door Spring May Need to Be Replaced

• Your garage door is not opening or is opening slightly, only to lift a few feet before it then falls back down.

Though you may only have one broken spring, it is important to replace both springs if your garage door has two. Some garages only have one.

Types of Garage Door Springs
Garage Door Extension Springs

Garage Door torsion Springs

Extension vs Torsion Springs, Which Is Better?
Our answer is: Torsion Springs. The main reason is that torsion springs last longer. Extension garage door spring need replacing about every 10,000 cycles while torsion garage door springs last up to 20,000 cycles.
