Are They Really That Important?
The simple answer is yes! Your garage door wouldn’t move at all if not for your springs, because they provide the energy needed to be able to lift your door. It's heavier than you may think it is, and the springs store tension that translates into energy to raise the door when you're ready to go. This is why it's usually noticeable if something is off about them, as the door won't be moving very easily, if at all.
Are There Different Kinds Of Springs?
There are two types that both serve the same function of creating and storing up energy. The difference comes in how they do so, as extension springs stretch, while torsion springs twist tightly instead. This may not seem like much of a variation, but the distinction comes in the lifespan and safety. Extension springs wear out much more quickly from being strained daily from being pulled, and when they break they snap and bounce dangerously around the garage. Torsion springs last longer in comparison, and when they break it's not violent.
Don't Risk DIY
Attempting to take care of any spring troubles yourself can set you up for further issues in the future and even cause you harm! They require professional care to be safely and carefully removed and replaced, otherwise they may pop out of place and potentially cause injury. Even aside from that, they carry the weight of the door and if they aren't properly put in, the door could fall, or work incorrectly and wear down the other components, which will require them to be replaced as well.
