If you’re in the market for a new garage door, you may wonder which type of garage door spring is the right one for your needs. Garage door springs are an essential part of the overall garage door system, and the right type of spring can make a big difference in the performance of your garage door. At Joe’s Doors, we’re proud to offer a variety of garage door springs to suit any need. Here’s a quick look at the various garage door springs available.
Torsion Springs:
Torsion springs are the most common type of garage door springs found today. These springs are mounted on a metal shaft above the garage door opening and use torque to open and close the door. Torsion springs come in various sizes and can be adjusted to different tension levels to ensure the door opens and closes properly. The downside of torsion springs is that they can be dangerous to install and challenging to repair.
Extension Springs:
Extension springs are another popular type of garage door springs. These springs are mounted on either side of the garage door opening and use tension to open and close the door. Extension springs are usually easier to install and repair than torsion springs, but they can be more dangerous and wear out faster.
Roller Springs:
Roller springs are a type of garage door spring that uses rollers to open and close the door. These springs are usually mounted on either side of the door, and they use a combination of tension and rollers to open and close the door. Roller springs are usually quieter than torsion and extension springs, but they can be more expensive and wear out faster.
Pneumatic Springs:
Pneumatic springs are garage door springs that use air pressure to open and close the door. These springs are usually mounted on the side of the door and use air pressure to open and close the door. Pneumatic springs are usually quieter than other springs, but they can be more expensive and difficult to repair.
