Torsion Springs
Vital Component in Your Garage
Torsion springs are a vital component of modern garage doors, providing the necessary force to lift and lower the door with ease. At Jim Beam's Garage Doors, we understand the importance of high-quality torsion springs for the functionality and safety of your garage door system. Here’s an in-depth look at torsion springs, their workings, advantages, and applications.
What Are Torsion Springs?
Torsion springs are heavy-duty springs installed horizontally above the garage door opening. They store mechanical energy by twisting on a horizontal axis when the door is closed. This energy is released to help lift the door smoothly when it is opened.
How Do Torsion Springs Work?
When you close your garage door, the torsion springs twist and store energy. This twisting action creates torque, which is then used to counterbalance the weight of the garage door. When the door is opened, the springs unwind, releasing the stored energy to assist in lifting the door. This process reduces the strain on your garage door opener and ensures a balanced and smooth operation.

Benefits of Torsion Springs
Durability
Torsion springs are known for their durability and longevity. They typically have a longer lifespan compared to other types of springs, such as extension springs. This means fewer replacements and less frequent maintenance.
Smooth Operation
The balanced and controlled lifting motion provided by torsion springs ensures a smoother and quieter operation of your garage door. This reduces wear and tear on both the door and the opener, extending the life of your entire garage door system.
Safety
Torsion springs are less likely to break abruptly compared to extension springs. This gradual release of tension makes them safer to use and reduces the risk of accidents or injuries.
Applications of Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are versatile and suitable for a variety of garage door types and applications:
- Residential Garage Doors: Ideal for both single and double garage doors in residential settings.
- Commercial Garage Doors: Perfect for heavy-duty commercial garage doors that require reliable and durable components.
Maintenance and Repair
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your torsion springs. Here are a few maintenance tips:
- Visual Inspection: Periodically check for signs of wear, rust, or damage.
- Lubrication: Apply a suitable lubricant to the springs to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
- Professional Inspection: Schedule regular inspections with our expert technicians to identify and fix potential issues before they become major problems.
