1. Broken Garage Door Spring Local Services Jordan's Overhead • February 23, 2022 No garage door system can function without quality springs, making them one of the most important components of this system. The right garage springs in place will ensure the safe and efficient raising and lowering of your door. So, if you’re trying to close or open your garage door and this doesn’t happen as smoothly as it should when you activate the opener, there is a high chance that you have a broken spring on your hands. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to have broken springs, especially as they wear out faster in heavy-use environments. However, the good news is that you can repair or replace broken springs and get them back to functioning optimally for your garage door. WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS SPRING TYPES? To understand how best to go about your broken spring replacement, you should know the various types of springs available. These come in two varieties: Extension springs: This type of spring expands fully when a garage door opens or • closes. However, they are usually not expensive, which will save you some extra cash. On the downside, they can only last through approximately 10,000 cycles which means that extension springs have a short lifespan. It would also cost more to repair extension springs since they have more moving parts and require this regularly. Torsion springs: Compared to extension springs, torsion spring systems are more • expensive. However, they don’t expand fully on a garage door. Instead, they feature a spring bar placed on a header to control the opening and closing of the door. In addition, since they don’t have as many moving parts as extension springs, they produce less wear and would last for a maximum of 20,000 cycles. HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS ARE BROKEN? How do you know when you need broken spring replacement services? This is an important question because knowing the signs will allow you to respond promptly to issues with your garage door before they get out of hand. Here are some signs to look out for: The door is closing too fast: When your garage door has a broken spring, there are • usually many imbalances that won’t allow it to function as it should. One of them is your door closing faster than expected. The door is not opening fully: A fully functional garage door should open up fully. • However, if it only goes up a few inches before crawling to a stop, then this could be an indication that the spring isn’t working properly. This’s usually related to a built-in safety feature that is immediately activated when the spring isn’t functioning as it should. Door opening or closing in a crooked manner: Most garage doors have a spring • fitted into each side of the opening. These springs work hand in hand to make the garage door open or close properly.
