Make Sure Your Door Is Efficient
If you’ve been noticing that your garage door isn’t behaving as it used to, things like it shuddering or jerking a lot while it’s moving, or that it doesn’t seem to want to work at all, these can be signs that the springs need some tending to! The springs are what lift it up, and without them your door won’t be going anywhere! Rather than let it go and leave the potential for a sudden complete break that will leave you in the dark when you have places to be, it’s best to just get them looked at as soon as possible. That way you won’t have to worry!
Extension vs. Torsion
There are two types of garage door springs commonly used, though one is more preferred than the other. Experts tend to like torsion springs best, and that’s due to how they create and store the energy used to move your door. Torsion springs twist up tightly to do this, whereas extension springs are pulled to a taut state to make the necessary tension. The problem is that this daily stretching to their limit wears extension springs down much faster, making them more likely to break and have to be replaced. They’re also potentially harmful to both your garage and even people if they break, because they usually snap and go flying.
Allow The Professionals To Help
Don’t be tempted to try DIY when it comes to your springs! No matter what type they are, it’s too dangerous. They carry the weight of your door and any mistakes can send it completely out of whack, and the spring itself could snap out of place and do damage. It’s far safer and easier to let a trained expert do it, and we can adjust or replace whatever kind of spring you have no problem!
