Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are mounted above the garage door and run parallel to the door's width. These springs store energy through twisting, which creates tension. When the door is opened, the energy stored in the torsion springs is released, assisting in the door's smooth movement.

  • Durability: Torsion springs tend to have a longer lifespan compared to extension springs.
  • Safety: When a torsion spring breaks, it tends to stay in place rather than snapping, reducing the risk of injury.
