Expert Garage Door Spring Repair in Orange County

Torsion springs are used for heavier overhead garage doors. They are mounted above the garage door on a metal shaft. These springs last longer and provide smooth operation. If they fail, you might need a complete garage door torsion spring replacement or torsion spring replacement service.

Extension springs are very popular among many residential overhead garage doors. They are placed on the sides of the garage door tracks. They stretch and contract when the door moves. When replacing extension springs, it is often recommended to replace both sides to keep the door balanced.
