Commercial Garage door Springs by Dover

1. Torsion springs are the most common type of springs used in commercial garage doors. They are mounted horizontally above the garage door opening on a metal shaft. When the door is closed, the torsion springs are tightly wound, storing energy. When the door is opened, the springs unwind and release their stored energy to help lift the door. Torsion springs come in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different door weights.

When it comes to repairing or replacing commercial garage door springs, it is recommended to hire a professional garage door technician. These springs are under high tension and attempting to work on them without the proper knowledge and tools can be dangerous. A qualified technician can assess the condition of the springs, provide the necessary maintenance or replacement, and ensure the door operates safely and smoothly.

Regular maintenance, including lubrication and inspection of springs, can help prolong their lifespan and reduce the risk of unexpected failure. Additionally, following safety guidelines and keeping employees or users informed about garage door safety is essential in commercial settings.
