The tension of your garage door springs plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of your garage door system.

Essential to have the right tension:

Smooth Operation: Proper tension allows your garage door to open and close smoothly without jerking or sticking. This ensures convenience and reliability every time you use your garage.

Balanced Weight: The springs counterbalance the weight of the garage door, making it easier to lift manually and reducing strain on the garage door opener motor. Correct tension ensures that the door remains balanced and doesn’t become too heavy to lift.

Prevention of Damage: When the springs are properly tensioned, they absorb the force of the door’s movement, preventing it from crashing down or slamming shut. This protects the door from damage and prolongs its lifespan.

Safety: Garage door springs are under high tension and can be dangerous if mishandled. Having the correct tension reduces the risk of sudden spring failure or breakage, which can cause serious injury or property damage.

Optimal Performance: The right tension ensures that your garage door system operates at its best, minimizing wear and tear on components and maximizing efficiency. This reduces the need for repairs and maintenance over time.

Regular inspection and adjustment of your garage door springs by a trained professional are essential to ensure they have the correct tension. This helps maintain the safety, performance, and longevity of your garage door system.
