Introduction: Why Garage Door Springs Matter
Garage door springs are the unsung heroes of your garage system.
They counterbalance the door’s weight, making it easy to open and close smoothly.
When springs fail, your door becomes heavy, jerky, or downright dangerous.
Types of Garage Door Springs
Understanding the two main types helps identify issues:
Torsion Springs
- Located above the door
- Twist to create tension
- Ideal for heavier doors
Extension Springs
- Located along the sides of the door
- Stretch to support lifting
- More common in lighter residential doors
Signs Your Garage Door Springs Need Repair
Watch out for these warning signs:
- Door slams shut unexpectedly
- Visible gaps in the spring coils
- Loud bang from the garage
- Crooked or uneven door when moving
- Difficulty opening the door manually
Ignoring spring issues is dangerous — never delay repairs!

We can’t stress this enough:
