Garage Door Spring

How Garage Door Springs Function
Garage door springs are essential for effortlessly lifting and holding your garage door open. Using stored tension, they counterbalance the door’s weight, making the operation smooth. When you activate the opener or manually close the door, the springs release tension, allowing the door to lower safely. Designed for durability, quality springs last approximately 5–7 years or about 10,000 open-and-close cycles.
