Garage door spring adjustment and winding are critical aspects of maintaining a properly balanced and functional garage door. Torsion springs, commonly used in modern garage doors, are under immense tension, and incorrect adjustment can lead to safety hazards and door malfunctions. We want you to know that we should handle these tasks to ensure the right tension and balance, preventing issues like door misalignment, jerky movements, or spring failure.
In cases where garage door springs are damaged or worn-out, repair or replacement becomes necessary. Spring replacement should always be performed by our mobile company due to the high tension involved. Attempting DIY repairs or replacements can lead to serious injuries or property damage. We are skillful, however, when it comes to the work we do.

Proper maintenance for garage door springs and repairs as needed are essential to identify signs of wear and ensure optimal performance. We want you to consult with us. We are Garage Door Service Garland and we know how important garage door springs are for any garage door.
Extension springs and torsion springs are two types of springs used in garage doors to counterbalance the door's weight and facilitate smooth operation.
If you are wondering about the difference between the two - extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on both sides of the garage door. When the door is closed, these springs stretch and store energy. As the door is opened, the extension springs release their stored energy to help lift the door and provide support during the opening process.
Torsion springs can be found horizontally above the garage door, parallel to the header. When the door is closed, torsion springs are tightly wound, but they unravel, if you will, when the garage door opens, removing or otherwise releasing their stored energy.
