A garage door is one of the largest moving components in a home, yet it operates through a carefully engineered system of springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and an opener working together. Torsion springs are designed to counterbalance the door's weight, allowing it to open and close with minimal effort. Most residential garage door springs are rated for a specific number of cycles, with one cycle being a complete opening and closing of the door. Regular maintenance helps keep these components working together safely and efficiently, extending the system's overall lifespan.
