Common Torsion Spring Adjustment Questions
Torsion springs are the heavy-duty springs that provide the lifting power for your garage door. They are located above the garage door opening, along a metal shaft. These springs are tightly wound and store mechanical energy that is released when the door is opened or closed. This stored energy helps counterbalance the weight of the garage door, making it easier to lift and preventing it from slamming shut.
There are a few signs that your torsion springs may need adjustment:
–The garage door is unbalanced: If it doesn’t stay in place when you lift it manually about halfway, it’s likely unbalanced. This means the springs aren’t providing the correct counterbalance.
–The door is noisy: Squeaking, groaning, or banging noises when the door operates can indicate a problem with the springs.
–The door is difficult to open or close: If you struggle to lift the door manually or feel heavy, the springs may need adjustment or replacement.
–The door opens or closes too quickly: If the door slams shut or rises rapidly, the spring tension may be incorrect.
–Visible damage: Look for signs of wear, rust, or gaps in the spring coils.
Ideally, torsion springs should be adjusted every time the garage door is serviced, or at least once a year. However, if you notice any of the signs mentioned earlier, you may need to adjust them sooner.
While it’s technically possible to replace torsion springs yourself, it is strongly discouraged. This is a dangerous job that requires specialized tools and knowledge. If not done correctly, it can lead to serious injury or damage to your garage door. It’s always best to hire a qualified garage door technician to handle spring replacement.
Torsion springs typically last for about 10,000 cycles, which translates to roughly 5-7 years with average use. However, their lifespan can be affected by factors like climate, usage frequency, and maintenance.
Torsion springs come in various sizes and types, including:
Standard torsion springs: These are the most common type and are made of galvanized steel.
Oil-tempered torsion springs: These springs are more durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.
Stainless steel torsion springs: These are the most expensive but offer the highest level of corrosion resistance.
