Standard Torsion Spring

Standard Garage Door Torsion Spring Replacement Services in Arlington

A torsion spring is basically any spring with operates under torsion, or twisting. It releases an opposite force proportional to the agle and amount it is twisted in. Each spring is secured to the wall, and to a stationary cone and a winding cone. When installing the torsion springs the coils must be properly secured and wound up to create the needed torque for proportional force. The Torque created is shifted to a cable drum, pulling the cable which is mounted to the bottom of the garage door and thus lifting the door.

Unlike the garage door opener, which if it malfunctions the springs can always be used to operate the door manually. Needless to say, when your garage door is damaged, not properly wounded, or broken, the entire garage door system fails to operate and you must call a trained professional in order to replace it to avoid potentially serious damage, or even injury.
