Garage door springs bear the entire brunt of the extremely heavy garage door which generally weighs around three hundred pounds or more. And it is expected that a garage door spring can sustain seven thousand openings before it gives any kind of a trouble. This means that one can heavily rely on the garage door springs for about six to seven years but that too, if and only if they are properly serviced and lubricated at regular intervals of time. Otherwise the kind of damage it is capable of causing is truly unimaginable. And because of this, it is strictly recommended that one avoid to a great extent to do the entire repair by themselves and more so when the garage door spring is the torsion spring kind.

When the springs are re-lubricated with oil from time to time they do not give out any noise and function smoothly too.

A garage door spring repair can kick off when you rightly identify the kind of spring it comes with. Torsion spring and extension spring are the only two types of garage door springs available. While it is easy to repair the extension spring all by yourself, the torsion spring repairs requires the services of a skilled and an experimented technician who is well aware of the probabilities as to where the repair in the springs could occur.

When the repair work is going on it is strictly advised that the garage door be locked and that too in down position so that it does not rise when the repair work is in progress. And the garage door opener has to be unplugged completely.
