How Garage Door Springs Work
Spectrum is your go to service company to replace your broken garage door spring in Kingwood and the surrounding areas. We can usually be at your door in just one to two hours! The job of the garage door torsion spring is to counter balance the weight of the door. When everything is working as it should, the door will feel very light (feels like a few pounds altogether). The spring(s) are wound tight and possess 100's of pounds of energy. When the door travels upward, the springs naturally unwinds appropriately- releasing all that stored energy along the way. At the top of the travel the spring will have just one or two turns left to help keep the door from falling back down. The whole process is very ingenious!
Like everything else, springs have an expected lifespan. A single spring usually has close to 10,000 life cycles, and a double spring system usually has about 15,000 cycles. There are also many other spring size variations that will produce what we in the industry refer to as "high-cycle springs." Spectrum keeps a complete inventory of the springs you might need fully stocked on our trucks to better serve our customers in the Kingwood area.
When you have a broken spring, you will see an approximate 2 to 3 inch gap. The door will also become very heavy. Many 16 foot double-wide garage doors weigh between 180 to 300 pounds! Metal garage doors are most often made of steel, and weigh much more than people realize. The automatic garage door opener is tuned at the time of installation to lift the garage door efficiently when everything is working as it should. If a spring breaks, the opener most likely will not lift the weight. It is not recommended to use your automatic opener when your spring is broken because it will have to pull and push where it connects to the top panel possibly causing it to bend.
