How Garage Door Springs Work
Garage Door Springs are designed to lift over 300 pounds, depending on the size and rating. There are also 2 types of springs. The torsion and extension spring make it possible to open and close your garage door. With the amount of tension in the spring, it is important to make sure the springs are correctly installed. That is why it is always recommended to have a professional replace the garage door springs. They can safely remove and properly install the new springs making sure the garage door works properly.
When homes were originally built, one spring may have been installed for the garage, but what is recommended it to replace the one spring with 2 springs. There are a few good reasons why. First, installing 2 springs will increase the life cycle of the springs, because they share the weight of the garage door. Second, if one spring breaks, the second spring would be able to operate your garage door, so you won't be stuck with a broken door.
