Types of Attic Door and Ladder Springs

Available in various lengths and tension ratings
2. Torsion Springs
Torsion springs work by twisting along their axis to store mechanical energy. These springs are often used in attic ladder hinges to provide a steady, controlled lifting motion.

Customizable to fit different attic ladder designs
3. Coil Springs
Coil springs are sometimes used in attic access systems to provide additional tension and support. These springs help reinforce the stability and safety of the ladder mechanism.
