Torsion Spring
Can I replace my torsion springs in my garage doors with extension type?
I am fairly handy and have a double car garage door. I came home the other day and one of the torsion springs has snapped. My research revealed that there should in fact be two springs up there either side of the center and there is only one – now broken! Nice – thanks Mr Contractor who built the house.
I have researched how to replace these and it looks OK, although new torsion springs are somewhat expensive and a little tricky to install.
The extension springs are much cheaper and appear much easier to install. Can I simply remove the torsion springs and put in a tension spring system instead?
If you remove the torsion springs half the work is done! Buying all the hardware necessary to convert to extension springs would cost you the same or more as buying new torsion springs. Torsion springs are a much more efficient spring system as well. Why would you want to go through all that work? Just replace both the torsion springs and be done with it. Be very careful btw!
