Signs of a Broken Spring

Types of Garage Door Springs
Torsion Springs
Located above the garage door, torsion springs use torque to lift the door. They're the most common type for residential garage doors and typically last 15,000-20,000 cycles (about 7-10 years with average use).
Extension Springs
Mounted on either side of the door, extension springs stretch and contract as the door opens and closes. They're often found on older or lighter garage doors.
