Garage Door Torsion Spring

One of the most important parts of a garage door system is the torsion spring. The garage door torsion spring is responsible for counter balancing the weight of the door, and it needs regular maintenance. Read on to learn more about how to properly maintain your garage door torsion spring.

It’s important to inspect your garage door torsion spring regularly, as well as anytime that you notice any issue with your garage door operation. To do this, you will need to lift up the garage door manually. As you lift up the garage door, look for any wear on the torsion springs, such as cracks. If you notice anything unusual, contact a professional technician immediately for assistance.  These checks are all part of the inspection process with PROtect Home Inspections.  Check us out 

To ensure that your springs last as long as possible and run smoothly during operation cycles, it’s also important to lubricate them regularly with a silicone spray lubricant or white lithium grease (or both). Simply apply some of these lubricants onto a cloth rag and wipe down all areas of each spring – including both ends – until they are completely covered in lubricant.

Maintaining your torsion spring is essential for ensuring that they stay in good shape and last. It doesn’t take much effort either; simply inspecting them regularly for signs of wear or damage, tightening them up every few months, and lubricating them once per quarter should do the trick! Taking these preventative steps will help keep your garage door operational safely and reliably into the future.  If you need any assistance with this chore, contact PROtect Home Solutions Click Here!
