Torsion and Extension Springs
Torsion & Extension Springs
Professional-grade garage door springs for DIY replacement. Standard and high-cycle options with the same quality we install on service calls.
Understanding Garage Door Springs
Your garage door springs do all the heavy lifting – literally. They counterbalance the weight of your door (150-250 lbs for most residential doors) so your opener only needs to guide it up and down.
Torsion Springs
Mounted horizontally above your garage door opening. These are the most common type in modern residential installations.
- Smoother, more controlled operation
- Longer lifespan than extension springs
- Available in 10K, 15K, and 25K cycle ratings
- Requires winding bars for installation
Extension Springs
Mounted along the horizontal tracks on both sides of the door. Common in older installations and lighter doors.
- Easier DIY installation (no winding required)
- Must include safety cables
- Best for lighter single-car doors
- Replace in pairs for balanced operation
