Lisheng can help you with adjusting the extension springs on your garage door. Let’s find out how these springs operate, what to watch out for while handling them, and how to get them tuned properly.
One of the most significant components of a garage door is extension springs. They assist in the opening and closing motion of the door. These springs expand and contract as the door goes up and down. They are generally located on top of the horizontal tracks on either side of the door.
When working on garage door springs, safety is of utmost importance. Always wear gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself. Be sure to disconnect power to the garage door opener before you get started to avoid any unexpected closings and openings. Do not adjust the springs yourself if you are not sure what you are doing or if you haven't done it before.
By following a few simple steps, garage door extension springs adjustments can be a straightforward task – although on the face of it, it might look complicated. To begin the process of fixing, you must release the tension on the springs by opening the door all the way. Then, a winding bar is used to turn the spring clockwise to tighten it or counterclockwise to loosen it. Ensure you adjust both springs in the same way to maintain balance.
In some cases, your garage door will let you know that it needs spring adjustment. If the door opens or closes unevenly, makes loud noises or moves slower than usual, it may be time to adjust the springs. Seeing these signs can prevent larger issues down the road.
There are many advantages to ensuring that the garage door extension springs are properly adjusted. It can extend the life of your garage door opener by decreasing the strain on the motor. Well-maintained springs can also cause the garage door to open and close smoother, which helps its operation.
