The torsion spring is an integral part of today?s garage door. It is a simple piece of mechanical hardware that uses a counterbalance assembly to offset the weight of the garage door. When the garage door is opened, the torsion springs unwind and the stored torque (energy) helps to lift the heavy garage door. As the door is closed, the torsion spring system winds up creating a storage of torque ready to be used when the door is opened again and the springs unwind. Each torsion spring is designed to last a certain amount of cycles with a cycle being one full opening and closing of the garage door or unwinding and winding of the spring. Once the spring reaches the designed life cycle, it could break. At this time, the torsion spring needs to be replaced by a professional garage door technician.

At Alliance, manufacturing the correct torsion spring for your garage door repair or replacement is our most important job. From everyday stock springs to custom replacements springs, Alliance offers the garage door spring that is right for you to complete your job.

DETERMINING THE SPRING WIND

One of the most commonly misunderstood facts about springs is the SPRING WIND ? also known as wound. Spring wind refers to the direction the wire is coiled to make a spring. The wind is helpful to know the direction the spring will uncoil as the door moves up and down. The springs cones could have threads that match the spring?s wind or be universal in mounting.

In a normal garage door setup, a left-hand wound spring is mounted on the right side of the garage door and a right-hand wound spring is mounted on the left side of the garage door shaft. There are exceptions to this rule, but this is recommended for basic engineering.

Generally, the spring?s winding cones are color-coded to help you determine the springs? wind. The cones on right-wound springs are colored red while left-wound springs are colored black. Sometimes these colors can be faded or non-existent so it is important to be able to determine the wind of a spring without the color coding.
