Garage door spring replacement in Thurso: common questions
Torsion or tension: which does my door have?
Look above the opening. A steel shaft running across the head of the door with one or two coiled springs on it means torsion springs. If the springs run front to back beside the horizontal tracks, or sit in the vertical side frames, the door uses tension springs. Many standard domestic doors use tension springs; larger, heavier and timber doors and doors with a pass door usually use torsion springs.
Should both springs be replaced?
Where a door has two springs, they have done the same number of cycles, so when one breaks the other is often close behind. Replacing both together, and checking the cables at the same time, is usually better value than a second visit.
