Tightening the garage door spring.

Garage door springs offset the weight of the door and allow it to open and close with ease. This tension makes it easier to lift the garage door from its closed position. The spring coils are color coded depending on the spring size and the winding cone is color coded separately either red or black. A problem with the spring tension could cause the door to open or close unevenly improperly or at the wrong speed and adjusting the springs will likely solve the problem.

If the garage door isn t opening or closing properly then check the tension on the torsion springs for needed adjustments. Each torsion spring consists of spring coils stationary cone and a winding cone fig. The color on the winding cone is to help identify on which side of the door the spring is to be used. The springs extend along the shaft and work by twisting as the garage door closes by means of cables attached to each side of the lowest garage door panel.
