Garage door springs work under high tension to balance the heavy weight of the door panels.
When an overhead door opens the twists contract, storing mechanical energy.
When the door closes, that energy is released to guide it down slowly and safely.
There are two main types of side hinged door coils:
Torsion spirals which are mounted horizontally above the door
Extension twirls which run along the sides of the door
Both types have unique applications depending on the weight and design of the door.
Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI services all types of coils vouching for the
right
size, material and configuration to be installed for maximum safety and durability.
Springs counteract the door’s heavy panels, making it possible to lift and lower safely without strain or sudden crashes.
Torsion springs sit horizontally above the door, while extension springs stretch along the sides. Each type has unique roles depending on design and weight.
We ensure correct size, strength, and configuration of springs for maximum safety, durability, and reliable door performance.

If you have noticed your gate moving unevenly, jerking during operation or feeling unusually heavy these are clear signs that the garage door springs may be compromised. Additional warning signs include loud snapping or popping sounds coming from the mechanism or visible gaps within the spring coils.
In many cases the door may only lift a few inches before stopping, which often points to damaged or broken coils. Frayed extension spirals or loose, hanging cables are also indicators that the system is under strain and no longer operating safely. Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI furnishes prompt emergency diagnostics and replaces failing helices with premium, manufacturer approved alternatives to validate a safe and smooth process.
Springs under strain can cause the door to move unevenly or jerk during operation, making it unsafe.
Loud snapping or popping sounds, or visible gaps in the coils, indicate springs are failing.
If the door only lifts a few inches before halting, damaged or broken coils are likely the cause.
Hanging cables or frayed extension spirals show the system is compromised and no longer safe to use.
Torsion helices are mounted above the door on a metal shaft and use torque to lift and lower the door evenly. These are commonly used in modern gate systems and are preferred for their controlled motion and longer lifespan.
Extension coils, found in older mechanisms or lighter residential doors, stretch and contract to move the door. Torsion springs recommended by Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI are ideal for robust usage as they last up to 20,000 cycles, compared to 10,000 cycles for standard extending spirals.

There are other components in a garage door spring mechanism besides the coil itself. Each element works in harmony to validate proper function. Our workers at Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI inspect and repair the following parts during any spring service:
Torsion Bar
Center Bearing Plate
End Bearing Plates
Cables
Cable Drums
Safety Wires
Installing side hinged door twists is not a DIY task — these components are under intense tension and incorrect handling can result in serious injury. Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI uses protection protocols and calibrated winding bars, torque gauges and assurance restraints for safe and accurate replacements. We measure door weight to determine the correct coil type for your roll up door.
We fine tune spiral tension based on the manufacturer's load cycle specifications to maximize performance and longevity. Safety cables and bearing plates are reinforced or replaced where necessary to maintain system integrity. Dual helix garage door spring systems are recommended for double car doors for improved balance and smooth operation with trained practitioners adhering to factory guidelines for finesse.
