Both torsion and extension springs are crucial for your garage door’s proper functioning, but they serve different roles and are installed in different locations.

Each type of spring supports the full weight of the garage door, distributing the load from different points.

Deciding to insulate your garage door is largely a matter of personal preference. Since your garage door is a significant opening that can let in heat and cold air, an insulated door can be beneficial. If your garage is attached to your house, an uninsulated door can affect the temperature inside your home. Insulated doors help regulate the temperature, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and improving overall energy efficiency.

Extension and torsion springs play a crucial role in your garage door system by supporting the entire weight of the door.

Regularly performing these checks helps maintain the safety and optimal performance of your garage door.

Usually, it’s a good idea to change the track of your door whenever you get a new garage door. This helps make sure that your whole garage door system works really well and doesn’t have to work too hard.
