Low-headroom garage door springs are essential for maximizing the utility of garages with limited overhead space. At Jim Beam's Garage Doors, we understand the importance of high-quality low-headroom springs for the functionality and safety of your garage door system. Here’s an in-depth look at low-headroom springs, their workings, advantages, and applications.
What Are Low-Headroom Garage Door Springs?
Low-headroom garage door springs are specially designed springs that allow your garage door to operate efficiently in spaces with minimal ceiling clearance. They enable the door to move smoothly within confined vertical spaces.
How Do Low-Headroom Garage Door Springs Work?
Low-headroom systems use a combination of specially configured torsion springs and cable drums to function within limited overhead space. These components work together to balance the door’s weight and provide the necessary force for smooth opening and closing, even when headroom is at a premium.
