Nobody wants to waste time and money replacing garage door springs on their own, so here's a guide for some time-saving information about what you should know regarding this task:

How does a garage door spring work? A garage door is a system with four main components:
Open end gate - The pronged part that opens and closes the gate when the button on the inside is pressed.
Pulley - This is the wheel that goes along the vertical rail of the garage door. It's connected to a cable that is wound around it. The cable connects to a spring, which goes over the wheel on either side and attaches at the center of the wheel. When you press open or close buttons on your garage door opener, an electric motor rotates this wheel to pull or push a belt connected to it up or down.
Hanger - A steel arm with a pulley wheel at the end that holds up and supports the shaft that rotates inside it.
Carriage - The part that holds up the door (usually made of wood), and has all the other mechanisms attached to it.

At their base, these garage door components have a pair of steel cylinders on either side that have been welded together. These are known as the "standard" or "from-the-factory" springs. These are not adjustable, so they will not fit your garage door opening exactly. Instead, they will be adjusted to get it in the right place for your garage door opener's standard settings. This can be done so that the weight of the door will be supported by only one spring, which is ideal.

When your garage door is functioning properly, both springs support an equal amount of weight. However, when you carry out regular maintenance on your garage door, you should regularly check the garage door springs and make sure that they're evenly balanced. If one spring breaks or stretches to a different length than another spring in the same pair, this puts pressure on the remaining spring causing it to wear down faster than it normally would over time. A loose or broken pair of springs can also cause your garage door to sag or stop working altogether. It is crucial that you have such parts replaced as soon as possible if this occurs.

They are made with metal coils, so they can stretch and contract without breaking. When a spring breaks, tension is released on both sides of the opening at once, which can quickly lead to other parts breaking in a domino effect.

If your springs break or become damaged, you should call in Garage Door Repair Anaheim CA professional help as soon as possible before any other damage occurs.

If your garage door springs are damaged, they need regular replacement. As much as you want to devote of time and energy to other tasks, it's important to have the service done by professionals.
