New garage door installation service
At Garage Door Des Plaines, we provide spring repair services because we know how vital springs are for the safe and efficient operation of your garage door. We know that if the springs were to fail to function or fall apart, this could mean not being able to open or close the garage door at all. We want our customers to understand their importance, so you can stay vigilant for signs of wear or damage. Our abilities include working with both torsion springs and extension springs. These components are an absolute must for the movement of your garage door along its tracks, ensuring it opens and closes safely in both directions.
Torsion springs are installed horizontally above the garage door and work by storing mechanical energy when wound or twisted. When you activate your garage door opener, these springs release their stored energy, generating the force required to lift the door. This process is one that is quite significant in terms of allowing for smooth, controlled movement.
In contrast, extension springs are positioned vertically on either side of the door. As the door closes, these springs stretch and store potential energy. When the door is opened, the stored energy is released, assisting in lifting the door. The interplay between the springs and the opener system is important for safe and smooth garage door movement.
We look forward to assisting you with your spring needs!
We want our customers to have the ability to recognize signs of damage to a garage door spring to ensure it remains operative and capable of functioning safely. How can you identify that something that is just off? Take a look...
Gaps or Spaces: One clear sign of spring damage is the presence of gaps or spaces in the spring itself. If you observe a separation or visible break, it indicates a problem that makes the garage door unsafe to use.
Unusual Noises: Damaged garage door springs often produce distinct sounds. If you hear loud banging, snapping, or popping noises when operating your garage door, it likely means the springs are under stress or have already sustained damage. These noises may occur during the door's opening or closing.
Also note that springs can cause imbalanced garage door movement. You might notice one side of the door rising or lowering faster than the other.
Difficulty Lifting the Door: If you have trouble manually lifting the garage door, it may indicate spring damage.
