What Are Torsion and Coil Springs

When you look at the mechanism that allows your garage door to work, you’ll notice there are many different parts. Some garage doors have more moving pieces than others, but all have torsion springs and garage door tracks. You can find your torsion springs near the top of your closed garage. These springs are tightly wound to generate torque and balance the weight of the door. This balancing allows you to easily open and close your door manually. When you open the garage doors, the torsion springs release torque so the rollers can go across the tracks to lift it.

It’s true, most residential garage doors come with two coil springs. Two springs keep each other in check in case one fails. This way your  overhead door doesn’t come down and crush your car or something else. You garage door can only work well when both springs are in good condition.

How to Tell Your Torsion Springs Are Bad

The lifespan of a torsion spring, on average, is seven to nine years on a residential garage door. The more you use your garage door, the shorter its life will be. Because of this, you should occasionally check if your torsion springs are in good condition. You can do this by disconnecting the opener from the garage door and opening it manually.

If you are near your garage door when a torsion spring breaks, you will be able to tell immediately. There will be a very loud noise. Then, the door will not work, and the spring will have a noticeable crack. Call A1 for any needed  garage door repair now!

Why Replacing Torsion Springs with an Overhead Door Company Is Important

Replacing torsion springs is needed because you won’t be able to leave through your overhead door if they’re damaged. Broken or old springs can put your cars, your guests, and yourself in danger. Your overhead door cannot be stable without good torsion springs. If your door features two springs, you’ll want to repair them at the same time. Torsion springs tend to break down at the same rate. If you replace one now, it won’t be long before you do the next one. Having both torsion springs in working order is necessary, so you can stay free of harm and frustration. Call us today!

Overhead Door Maintenance

Has your residential overhead door stopped working the same way it used to? Have you done minor service and repairs like resetting your garage door opener, tightening some nuts, or adjusting the sensors? Some of these fixes are doable by the average customer, but some require particular expertise. There are some issues, like worn torsion springs, that you’ll need a professional overhead door repair provider to look at. If you try to install the spring on your own, you may do more harm than help. Are you interested in knowing what to fix and what not to touch on your overhead door? Here are some great signs you should call the pros for a door repair.

1. Extra Noises

   • A lot of extra noise can signify you should call a pro. You might hear a roller squeaking or clicking when the overhead door is moving. Although it may not seem like a big deal, if not handled correctly, it could be dangerous. The noise could be from loose bolts or worn springs.
   • If the springs or bolts fail, this could cause severe damage to your garage, injury, or even death. It’s imperative to call us, a professional overhead door company when your system starts making odd noises.

2. Sections That Sag

   •  If doors are not maintained, they start sagging. As a result, you’ll notice significant gaps beneath the ends of the door.
   • To prevent this from happening, you should periodically check the balance of your overhead door. Check if the door rises or falls by itself by bringing it halfway down. If it does, the tension springs have broken or worn out. We recommend a professional overhead door company to assist you with a overhead door repair if this is the case.

3. Response From The Garage Door Is Slow.

   • When using your remote to open and close your overhead door, observe the length of time it takes for the door to open and close.
   • Your garage should respond to these commands within a two-second window. A delay of more than two seconds may indicate that you need to have your garage door tuned up.
   • You may have a more severe problem than a overhead door repair or service if your garage won’t open or close when you press the buttons on your remote.

4. Sensor Failure In The Photo-Eye

   • The overhead door won’t close when you leave? The photo-eye sensor tells your garage doors to stop closing or opening if there is an obstruction. A beam of infrared light travels between the two sensors.
   • An alignment problem with the photo-eye could result in the overhead door not opening or closing when you press the buttons on the garage door opener. If these issues would arise, have your overhead door inspected by a professional overhead door company.
