Garage Door Experts • Understand the type of springs that you are dealing with. • Not all garage doors have the same kind of springs. There are two main types of springs and each of these requires you to follow a different set of instructions. Luckily, they should not be hard to distinguish. • Torsion Springs; these are mounted on a metal shaft that is at the top and is usually parallel to the garage door frame. They are extended along the shaft and work by twisting when the garage door is close via cables making it easier to lift the door. • Side mounted springs; these long and heavy springs that are found on each side of the upper garage door track. They work in the same way as the torsion springs by being under tension when the door is closed to make it easier to lift. www.austingaragedoorexperts.com

Garage Door Experts Replacing side mounted springs. Before you start, it is vital to know that the spring repair and replacement should be done in sets to allow for balanced functioning of the door. You start by releasing the tension on the springs which is done by opening the door as far up as possible and attach a C-clamp to hold the door in place. This makes the springs less risky to work with. If the door has any safety cables, also make sure that these are removed and disconnected from the springs. Once you have done this, the next step is to find the two areas where the old spring is attached to the mechanism. One end is attached to the garage door track and the other to the pulley system. Release the spring by disconnecting it from the attachments and in the same manner, attach the replacement spring. Be keen not to twist the cables of the garage door when you are re-attaching the pulley. While at this you can also check the pulleys to make sure they are in the right state Once you have checked everything, you can then re-attach the safety cables and try see if your door works. If it does not close all the way, you can loosen the garage door cable an inch or two to accommodate this. www.austingaragedoorexperts.com
