What Are the Different Types of Garage Door Springs?
There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion and extension. Not sure what kind of garage door spring you have? Don’t worry! We keep our trucks stocked with various spring types and sizes to handle any garage door spring repair and replacement.
Torsion Springs
Garage door torsion springs are typically located above the door. Torsion springs use torque or rotating force to counterbalance the door’s weight and allow the opener to move it up and down. They are the most popular garage door spring type because they last 10,000-15,000 cycles.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are installed on either side of the garage door. Garage door extension springs expand and contract as the overhead door operates. They only last about 8,000 cycles, and many customers choose to upgrade with a torsion spring conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you still use a garage door if a spring is broken?
Because springs hold a large portion of the garage door’s weight, we do not recommend using a door when the spring is broken. If you do try to open the door manually, it will be extremely heavy and may fall – causing damage to you, a pet, or the door itself. Instead, call for garage door spring repair and we will quickly perform a replacement.
Is a broken garage door spring dangerous?
Garage door springs are dangerous because they hold tension to maintain the garage door’s weight. When the springs are worn down and break, they may suddenly snap back at you or cause the door to fall. If you are worried your spring is broken or might break soon, don’t touch it! Call for garage door spring repair, and Top Quality Doors can have your overhead door working like new in no time.
What does a broken garage door spring look like?
If you have a broken garage door spring, you will notice a gap between the coils of the spring. You will also notice your garage door makes screeching or knocking noises and comes up crooked.
