How to Know When You Need Garage Door Spring Replacement
There are a few tell-tale signs that indicate it may be time for new garage door springs, but first, it’s important to understand the main types of springs that are commonly found with home garage doors:
1. Torsion Springs - Normally installed on a steel shaft above the garage door, in the middle or elsewhere, with set drums and tension. Your door might have between one and four.
2. Extension Springs - Usually mounted on the sides of the garage door in connection with the door track. Pulleys and cables create the system for movement and they will be found with clipped or looped ends.
If you discover that your springs are malfunctioning in any of the following ways, consider a garage door spring replacement or repair:
- Your door won’t open, opens very slowly or won’t stay open.
- Loud or unpleasant screeching or squeaking is heard when you open or close your door.
- Excessive rust, cracking or damage can be seen.
- Regular maintenance has not been performed.
