Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can be incredibly dangerous if mishandled. Whether you live in New Canaan or anywhere in Fairfield County, understanding spring replacement safety is crucial for every homeowner.
Understanding Spring Tension
Garage door springs support the entire weight of your door - typically 150-400 pounds. When these springs break or are improperly handled, they can cause serious injuries.
Types of Springs
There are two main types of garage door springs:
- Torsion Springs - Mounted above the door, these use torque to lift the door
- Extension Springs - Located on both sides, they stretch and contract
Warning Signs of Dangerous Springs
Watch for these indicators that your springs need professional attention:
- Visible gaps in the spring coils
- The door feels heavier than usual
- Squeaking or grinding noises
- The door opens unevenly
- Springs appear rusty or worn
