Understanding the Type of Garage Door Springs
Residential garage doors use one of the two types of spring systems:
Torsion springs are mounted on a shaft above the door opening, they operate by using the torque of the shaft to counterbalance the weight of the door. They are the most commonly used springs in the majority of the contemporary houses.
Extension springs operate horizontally along the garage door track, they extend themselves to provide the torque that counterbalances the weight of the door, at Apex Garage Doors, you will find the most efficient and cost effective garage door spring repair and replacement services in the West Haven and New Haven County areas.
