There are two
types of garage door springs i.e. torsion spirals and extension spirals.
Overtime, these springs become ruined due to constant pressure and regular
operation. At certain point of time, for about four to five years of constant
operation of door, these springs break down. At that time, you need a garage
door spring repair specialist to get your job done and restore your garage door
operation.
Replacing and
repairing torsion spirals are the most unsafe kind. They are mounted on a rod
over the opening of a door on both sides. Often, when one spring is ruined, the
other needs to be changed because it will also break down within a short period
of time. Therefore it is usually advised to change both springs at a time. This
saves you from using another garage doorspring repair service within a short period of time. Changing two springs
separately is considered dangerous. Therefore, you should be very careful and
take suitable advice from the experts while changing the most important part of
your garage door. It is recommended to hire the professionals if you want to
change garage door springs as it is capable of causing serious injuries.
According to the
professionals and experts, changing and repairing extension springs is less
risky when compared to torsion springs. It runs along the left, right and
center tracks of a door. Although repairing these spirals is considered less risky,
still safety measures are taken while operating with extension springs.
Changing the helix is considered a most risky job due to the tension that it
carries. It’s very true that you can save thousands of dollars if you do it by
yourself, but you should remember that it is the most dangerous task, which is
really not worth to take just to save money.
