Torsion springs
Torsion springs are typically mounted on a shaft above the garage door. As the door operates, the spring system twists to store and release energy.
Extension springs
Extension springs are usually mounted along the horizontal tracks and stretch as the door closes.
Why identification matters
The spring type affects the hardware, repair method and parts involved. Both systems can store significant energy.
