How Does a Garage Door Spring Work?
Take it from an experienced garage door spring manufacturer: Garage door springs are like little miracles.
Garage door extension springs and torsion springs are designed to help lift the weight of heavy garage doors. Residential and commercial garage doors require heavy-duty steel springs – and a counterbalance – to do some heavy-duty lifting.
Imagine lifting 150+ pounds of garage door without the help of springs and mechanical advantage! If you’re a powerlifter, that may feel like a feather-light load; for most of us mere mortals, however, it spells back pain and plenty of Advil.

Extension Springs For Garage Doors
Many garage doors utilize extension springs and cables. When the spring is stretched, the door is closed. Springs store energy, which is how springs work to make opening garage doors possible.
After years of hard use and wear and tear, even the toughest spring calls it quits. For top-quality, American-made garage door springs, contact us!
We manufacture and supply heavy-duty coated garage door extension springs for commercial and residential use.
Torsion Springs for Garage Doors
Like any spring, torsion springs also store energy. Garage door torsion springs are located above the door and are wound tightly as a garage door closes. As the door opens, the springs unwind, helping lift the weight of the door. Tennessee Spring & Metal torsion springs are made from 100% traceable high-tensile steel wire and are designed to withstand extensive tension and compression.
Should you repair a garage door spring?
We realize we’re in the business of selling springs but NO, you should not attempt to repair garage door springs. They’re under a lot of tension and can be dangerous to repair or replace. Not only that, but repaired springs will not last as long as new springs. Regardless, hire a professional for your garage door installation needs!
