Replace your garage door torsion springs now to avoid damage later

The garage door is the largest moving object in the home. When installed properly, they give many years of uninterrupted service. Occasionally, they need repair or maintenance to keep functioning properly.

One of the common issues homeowners face with garage doors is torsion springs. These springs allow the door to move up and down smoothly. They are wound tight and under severe pressure. Without proper maintenance, garage door torsion springs wear out over time.

At best, malfunctioning garage door torsion springs could prevent the door from functioning. At worst, they pose risk of injury and death to occupants of the home.

To keep the torsion springs working properly, homeowners need to have them serviced by garage door professionals like Las Vegas based Damian Douglas Garage Door Service.

“Most homeowners do not know this but the garage door torsion spring is what controls the garage door and every time you open or close the door, you place that much pressure on the torsion springs,” explained Damian Douglas, owner of Damian Douglas Garage Door Service.

“If not maintained regularly, sooner or later, they break down and that is very dangerous. Homeowners need to ensure they have the garage door torsion springs monitored and maintained regularly.”

He advised homeowners to pay special attention to their torsion springs because they are the most common causes of garage door breakdowns. “Torsion Springs are usually the cause of most garage door breakdowns. If you try to open or close your garage door and find that it won’t do anything, start by checking your torsion springs.”

“If the springs are old, they are probably worn and may need immediate replacement. The springs are wound tightly and kept under severe pressure all the time so there is a greater chance that they may break down and need replacement.”
