Garage Door Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are the most common type of spring in a garage door system. The torsion spring is attached to the header (or head) of your garage and the opposite end of the spring is attached to your garage door. Torsion springs are typically sized based on the weight of your garage door, which can range from 1/4 ton to 2 tons. The weight rating is stamped into the side of each torsion spring.

Is Your Garage Door Hard To Open Or Close?

The torsion spring has two coils that when twisted, produce energy that lifts and lowers your garage door. When installing new torsion springs, it’s important that you match the proper size for your garage door. If you have an older-style garage door with exposed torsion springs, it may be possible to purchase a replacement set or even just one coil if one breaks or stretches out over time. However newer style doors use hidden torsion springs which reduces maintenance by hiding them away inside the header box where they cannot be seen or easily accessed.
If your garage door still works but it is hard to open or close, then chances are that your torsion springs need replacing. The most common reason for this is that they have lost their elasticity over time due to constant use and exposure to different weather conditions.

Great Experience!! Torsion spring broken this morning around 11 am. I called Mojo based on a google search. Moshe answered his phone let me know someone could come out and replace the spring same day by 5pm. Moshe the owner arrived on time and within an hour had everything back up and running smoother than before. He also added a double torsion spring for additional safety and longevity. Highly recommend MoJo garage doors so much so that we are discussing replacing our 15 year old garage door with a cool new one!

Overall a great experience with Mojo Garage Door Repair. Sholom changed out the torsion spring to carry the weight of my oversized door. Lubricated the wheels and synced the key pad to the opener. Everything is working perfectly.

Tips for Maintaining Your Torsion Springs

Your garage door torsion springs are under immense tension, working hard every time you open and close your door. While they are built for durability, a little regular maintenance can go a long way in extending their lifespan, ensuring smooth operation, and preventing unexpected and potentially dangerous failures.

Here are a few simple tips for maintaining your torsion springs:

Lubricate the Springs Regularly

Use a silicone-based lubricant or a specially formulated garage door lubricant. Avoid using products like WD-40, which are penetrants and can strip away existing grease rather than providing lasting lubrication.

Conduct Visual Inspections

Does the door open and close smoothly? Or does it appear to be struggling, moving unevenly, or feeling much heavier than it used to? A change in the door's operation can be a strong indicator that the tension in the springs is off or that one or more springs are weakening.

Listen for Unusual Noises

Pay attention to the sounds your garage door makes when operating. Squeaking, grinding, or loud creaking noises coming from the spring area can be a sign that lubrication is needed or that a more significant issue is developing within the spring system.

Observe the Door's Movement

Does the door open and close smoothly? Or does it appear to be struggling, moving unevenly, or feeling much heavier than it used to? A change in the door's operation can be a strong indicator that the tension in the springs is off or that one or more springs are weakening.

When to Call a Professional

It is crucial to understand that while basic lubrication and visual inspection are safe for homeowners, any adjustments, repairs, or replacement of torsion springs should only be performed by a trained and experienced garage door professional. These springs are under extremely high tension, and improper handling can result in serious injury or damage to property.

If you notice any signs of damage, hear unusual noises, or if your door is not operating correctly, contact a qualified garage door service immediately. Simple, regular maintenance can help keep things running smoothly, but leave the complex and dangerous work to Mojo Garage Door Service experts.
