A properly functioning garage door is essential for the safety, security, and convenience of your home. However, over time, garage door springs can wear out or break, leaving your garage door stuck, unbalanced, or unsafe to operate. Whether you have a broken torsion spring or extension spring, getting professional service is crucial to restoring your garage door's functionality. We specialize in garage door spring repair in Iowa City IA, offering expert solutions for both torsion and extension springs. Our trained technicians provide fast, reliable, and affordable repairs to ensure your garage door operates smoothly and safely.
Torsion springs are the most common and durable type of garage door springs, installed above the garage door opening and operating by twisting and storing energy when the door is closed. They have a longer lifespan compared to extension springs, providing smoother and more balanced operation. They are ideal for heavy and oversized garage doors and typically last 10,000 to 20,000 cycles.
Extension springs are installed on either side of the garage door tracks and work by stretching and contracting to lift the door. They are more affordable but wear out faster, common in lighter and single-car garage doors and require safety cables to prevent dangerous snapping. Both types of springs are essential for your garage door's performance, and when they fail, they require professional replacement.
