Types of garage door springs

There are two types of garage door springs, although there may be more the aren't quite as popular. The first is the extension springs which is what this blog is about. The second is the torsion spring. Both of these work in similar ways although you will have to find out exactly which one your garages use. Of course if you don't know how to fit a garage door spring then you should never attempt to do it yourself as it can be quite dangerous. You don't want to hurt yourself by fitting the garage spring incorrectly, and you also don't want to reduce the lifetime of your garage. You can find a guide to garage door springs.
