Springs are the most common repair needed for garage doors. They are also a normal, wearable part of any garage door. And no matter what kind you have, knowing that repair or replacement will eventually be needed can help alleviate some frustration when it comes time to do so.

Most garage doors use one of two kinds of springs: torsion or extension springs.

Torsion springs are the ones you see above the opening of a garage door. These springs utilize torque through rotation to make it easier to open and close garage doors, supporting the weight and balancing the door. These springs remove strain on the opener by storing energy each time the door is closed. As the door is opened and the springs unwind, the energy is released, supporting the lift.

Extension springs are similar in that they also support the garage door to help it lift and lower. It does this with return force using extension, instead of rotation.

What’s the biggest difference between torsion and extension springs in garage doors? Extension springs are often more affordable, however, they require more components to work, which opens the door to more opportunities to fail. This includes a pairing with safety cables. They also tend to support less weight, so may not be the best choice for heavier garage doors. They also need replacement more often than torsion springs.

Garage door cables attach the spring system to the door itself. In partnership with the springs, the cables facilitate the opening and closing of the door. While the springs help control the door (one of the functions being to prevent it from slamming and causing injuries), the safety cables act as a failsafe to catch the door, should the springs break or malfunction. The type of garage door cable you need will depend on the type of springs you use. However, no matter the kind of cable you need, it is recommended that only a professional install/replace them due to the safety functionality of these components.

Just as with any other component of a garage door, the track will natural wear down over time. Regular maintenance can help prevent or delay repair, however, repair or replacement will be needed at some point in any garage door’s lifespan.

The sensor is a device at the base of the track that stops a garage door from closing if it senses anything in its path. This safety feature is present on nearly all garage doors to prevent injury to any person or object in the way of the door.

Garage doors have a lot of hidden parts that keep them operating. Sometimes something seemingly small can cause a large problem with the functioning of your garage. A few of these smaller parts include brackets and bearings.
