To make the necessary repairs, it is important to know what type of spring is installed on your garage door. There are two types of garage door springs – torsion springs and extension springs.

Torsion springs are located above the garage door and they wind and unwind as the door is opened and closed. These springs are under a lot of tension and if they break, they can cause serious injury.

Extension springs are located below the garage door and they stretch and recoil as the door moves. These springs are also under a lot of tension and can cause injury if they break.

If you are not sure what type of spring is installed on your garage door, our garage door repair specialist at Kingsway Garage Door can help. We can inspect your garage door and determine the type of springs that are installed.
