Garage Door Springs – Periodic Maintenance and Safety Checks are Important
Unless you’re needing to purchase some garage door springs, or you’re involved in the manufacture or retailing of them, they’re most likely something you don’t give a lot of attention to.
In a nutshell, a garage door spring is an incredibly formidable spring, designed to assist with the opening and closing of a garage door. When garage door springs are installed and operating correctly, all the operator needs to do is to lift the garage door a little, after which, the springs will complete the job. When the door needs closing – all the operator has to do is pull the door down just an a little way to get things started, and the springs will do the rest.
Like one of life’s unsung heroes – day in, day out, they meticulously do their job and we simply let them get on with it.
However, do remember that whilst garage door springs are pretty reliable, it’s important that every once in a while, they’re given a routine safety check.
The reason they make such light work of opening and closing heavy garage doors is because the springs are under a tremendous amount of tension,especially when they’re fully extended. If they were to fail and the door was to drop, the result could be serious damage at best or grievous injury at worst.
It’s more than likely that you’ll know if there’s a problem with the door, as the normally smooth operation may become difficult and unmanageable or the door may not seem as anchored as normal. In the same way, if the garage door begins to display signs of major resistance (ie; becomes very heavy) or an apparent lack of resistance (ie; becomes very light), rest assured that all is not well.
If you notice any of the above signs, you should ask a garage door specialist to check them out as soon as possible.
If you need to call a specialist out, he may ask you what type of garage door springs you have. You may already know the answer to this, but if you don’t, the following information should help to give you an idea.
TORSION SPRINGS
Used on sectional roll-away garage doors, there should be two springs located either side of the top center of the door.
EXTENSION SPRINGS
Used on swing-up garage doors, there should be two springs situated on either side of the door firmly fixed on the extending swing-arm apparatus.
Garage door springs come in a range of sizes. The size and the weight of the garage door will determine which spring is the most relevant, ie; in order for a garage door to give optimal performance, the torsion offered by the springs should be directly related to the weight of the door.
Efficiency issues aside for a minute, this is one of the reasons why it’s essential to have a skilled garage door technician to install and take care of the springs. When you take into account the weight of a garage door and the level of tension in a spring, you can imagine how much damage could be done if proper care and safety procedures are not heeded.
A good way to find reliable technicians is to enquire at a local hardware store or home improvement center. Chances are that they’ll have the details of local tradesmen, or they may even offer their own professional fitting service.
Of course, it may be necessary for a technician to visit your home just before carrying out any work in order to assess the garage door and the condition of the component parts, but this is something you can talk over and arrange for a mutually convenient time beforehand.
If you look after your garage door springs, they’ll give you many years of faithful service!
