Different Types of Springs
Garage door spring repair may be necessary for many reasons—there could have been an error in the original installation or perhaps a problem with the bearing plate which holds the springs in place. When undertaking a garage door spring repair, the experts at Guaranteed Overhead Door take into account every factor which contributes to your doors smooth operation. Things like bearings, drums, lift cables, and proper spring size/tension can each have its own effect on the way your door operates, which is why we inspect every moving part to ensure proper operation.
There are three different kinds of garage door springs—Torquemaster: where the springs are located inside a metal tube directly above the door, Torsion Springs: are mounted on a metal bar directly above the door, and Extension Springs: are suspended overhead above the tracks on a pulley system. All three kinds of springs are under a great deal of tension and contain a lot of potential energy. Don’t risk your safety or eat up time trying to understand how the physics of a spring will affect your door’s performance, leave that to us. Unwinding and rewinding the springs, calculating torque, determining accurate spring size—we do it all. And, unlike amateur repairs, Guaranteed Overhead Door is sure to perform your garage door spring repair safely, effectively, and with the utmost pride all while protecting you and your family from incorrectly installed and dangerous springs.
