Garage Door Spring

Garage door torsion & extension spring replacement

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.

Types of Garage Door Springs 

  • Torsion Springs: Mounted above the door on a metal shaft, these apply torque to lift the door via cables and drums. Their cycle life and lift depend on wire size, inside diameter, and length. For expert torsion spring repair in Ottawa, contact us!  
  • Extension Springs: Installed along the horizontal tracks, these stretch and contract to balance the door’s weight. We provide reliable extension spring repairs in Ottawa.
