General Info

When the garage door springs are broken, the overhead door cannot be supported or hung during operation, and it may collapse at any time. Overhead doors have claimed many lives because of this problem, with victims falling beneath the door when the door suddenly collapses. By opposing the pull of gravity, the springs facilitate the opener's and the cables' tasks of opening and shutting the gate, supporting the door, and maintaining equilibrium. To lessen the weight of the garage door, garage door springs—whether torsion or extension—are maintained in a constant state of tension.
