GARAGE DOOR TORSION SPRINGS CICERO

Torsion springs are mechanical devices that store energy and release it when twisted. They are typically made of metal and have a cylindrical shape, with coils that wind around a central shaft. The amount of force a torsion spring can apply is proportional to the degree it is twisted, and it returns to its original position when the twisting force is removed. Torsion springs are commonly used in a variety of applications, including as springs in garage doors, toys, and various machines. 

Torsion springs play an important role in garage doors. They provide the lifting power for the door, allowing it to be opened and closed with ease. The torsion spring is located above the garage door and is mounted on a metal shaft that runs parallel to the door. When the door is opened, the torsion spring twists, storing energy. When the door is closed, the energy stored in the spring is released, making it easier to open the door again. Torsion springs are designed to have a specific torque rating, which determines the amount of force they can apply to the door. The springs are wound tight to provide the necessary tension, and they are under a lot of stress, so it's important to handle them with care when installing or repairing them. 

Common issues with torsion springs include:

1. Breakage: Torsion springs are under a lot of tension, and over time they can become weakened or fatigued, leading to breakage. This can happen due to metal fatigue or corrosion.
2. Rust: Torsion springs can corrode over time, especially if they are not coated with a rust-resistant finish. This can cause the springs to become brittle and break more easily.
3. Imbalance: If one of the springs in a pair is not functioning properly, it can cause the door to become unbalanced and difficult to lift.
4. Loosening: Torsion springs can loosen over time, causing the door to become harder to open and close.
5. Inadequate tension: If the torsion springs are not tensioned properly, they will not provide enough lifting power for the door, making it difficult to open and close.
